Kent fall short

Kent followed their first innings of 78 by being dismissed for 133 this morning to lose to Durham by 43 runs at the Riverside.

They saw a total of 23 wickets go down yesterday, and Kent had two wickets standing with 61 runs still needed to win when they resumed today.

They added 17 runs in 30 minutes before Martin van Jaarsveld fell for the game’s top score of 53. He went to drive a ball from Mark Davies that was not full enough for the shot and spooned a catch to mid-off.

In the next over Callum Thorp had Martin Saggers lbw to clinch a win that takes Durham back to the top of the table, at least until Nottinghamshire complete their match at Taunton.

Davies’ 5-24 gave him match figures of 10-45 – his first 10-wicket match haul.
