After building a considerable first-innings lead over Lancashire, Kent was standing at the top of a thrilling second day of LV Insurance Divison. Lancashire was clear about their intentions to play on a pitch that was used recently for England’s one-day international match with India. However, their decision went wrong as they were restricted to just 145 runs in a morning session.

The day started with the news that Kent skipper Sam Billings had tested positive for Covid and Ollie Robinson replaced him behind the stumps with Leaning taking over the captaincy. In reply to Lancashire’s 145, half-centuries from Joe Denly, Jack Leaning and Grant Stewart helped the visitors to get to 270.

Brief scores:
Lancashire 145 (Henry 5-45, Saini 3-63) and 2 for 0 trail Kent 270 (Leaning 90, Stewart 64, Denly 59, Bailey 6-64) by 123 runs
