Canterbury: watching County cricket
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 12 Sep 2023
Kent had made a formidable first-innings score, bowled Nottinghamshire out and enforced the follow-on on the third day. At the moment I pressed the shutter, Notts' left-handed opening bat Ben Slater was hitting a six over mid wicket. A collapse ensued, and by close of play a Kent win looked a formality. However, a stoical Notts rearguard action for much of the final day left Kent needing 168 to win, and after an ill-judged and chaotic chase they ended on the defensive at 86 for 6 as the match was drawn. Kent 446 and 86 for 6, Notts 265 and 348. Match drawn.
