A wicket for Clarke

Kent 129 for 2 (33 overs). Denly 52, Jones 4.

The breakthrough has arrived, albeit in rather undistinguished fashion. Woakes, Carter, Imran, Naqaash and Maddy having had a go, the Bears turned to Clarke whose first ball was a mediocre offering down the leg-side to which Coles offered a glance and feathered it to the wicket-keeper.

The nightwatchman scored 41 from 57 balls with four fours and a six.

Jones struck Clarke's second ball to the point boundary.
