Makes me nostalgic and quite homesick following this on BBC. Lancs batting well at that lovely ground in Canterbury. Went there a few times and all over the place to see LCCC, a long time ago, Hove, Horsham, Worcester, Taunton etc. Harry Pilling, Frank Hayes, David Lloyd and big Clive ... Whatever happened to "forever young" John Abrahams?

It’s live on YouTube if you are in a position to watch.

Shoaib Bashir equalled the CC record for runs conceded in an over while playing for Worcestershire against Surrey; 38 of them. And his last delivery of the (extended) over was actually a dot ball!

Lancs digging in here, attritional stuff but anyone that's played will know how difficult it is when you've spent a couple of days in the field in the sun.

Pitch is starting to spin more in the follow through rough marks too.

Thanks for this. Could have been watching for years if I'd known.
Any idea who the two commentators are? Can hear them but they're not on screen. Both got Lancashire accents so I'm guessing they're former players.

I’m not sure of their names, but it’ll be a mix of Lancs and Kent TV for this game.

There tends to be at least one from BBC Lancs on there. Bumble does some games too.

Kent 67-5, none to spin yet, begs the question if Lancashire batted on a different wicket :)
