Canterbury: re-marking the creases

Image: © John Sutton Taken: 11 Sep 2023

During the lunch interval of the second day of a Kent-Nottinghamshire County Championship match ground staff were sweeping the pitch and re-marking the batting creases at each end and spectators had come to inspect the pitch, which was hard and true. Kent made a big first innings score and enforced the follow-on, but finished up clinging on for a draw in a match they should have won: Kent 446 and 86 for 6, Notts 265 and 348.
