- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 sharp pace from just back of a length, attacking DBD's splice as he attempts to ride the bounce, and a fizzing edge flies through to Garton at second slip! Good wheels as Archer strikes! 3/129.6 off stump goes cartwheeling! Probing line from Robinson, attacking the top of the timbers as Cox pokes uncertainly onto the front foot, and the ball just nips around his inside edge, clean through the gate. Excellent areas 70/37.6 tight lines again, lift from a good length, Crawley tries to drop his hands but that's kissed the glove on the way through! Archer's in the mood this morning! Crawley shakes his head as he leaves, not sure he's thrilled at that decision 11/251.3 the resilient Leaning is extracted! Back of a length, shaping in again, a firm push off the back foot, and a simple nick to first slip 140/832.4 A tentative prod onto the front foot, and speared straight at cover! Full and fast from Garton and that does the trick! 85/433.6 Full length, angling in, Muyeye is pinned to the crease and thumped on the knee-roll, and Robinson knows before the finger is up! Sussex surging now 86/534.6 Three down in the blink of an eye! Loose from the old stager, full and shaping away, and a flimsy waft ends up in the lap of first slip. 91/640.4 Another one for Garton and Kent are sinking fast! Pushed across the right-hander on a full length once more, a wild swish through the line and a sharp deflection to first slip. Trial by pace from Sussex today 112/752.2 round the wicket, looped onto a good length, Gilchrist goes back onto his stumps for something extravagant, but manages only to chip a leading edge back to the bowler 142/954.3 a great big wipe across the line, back goes the off stump, and that is the end of that 145/9Extras18 (b 4, lb 7, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL145 all out (54.3 Overs, RR: 2.66)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 5.1 ov), 2-11 (Zak Crawley, 7.6 ov), 3-70 (Jordan Cox, 29.6 ov), 4-85 (Ollie Robinson, 32.4 ov), 5-86 (Tawanda Muyeye, 33.6 ov), 6-91 (Darren Stevens, 34.6 ov), 7-112 (Marcus O'Riordan, 40.4 ov), 8-140 (Jack Leaning, 51.3 ov), 9-142 (Nathan Gilchrist, 52.2 ov), 10-145 (Miguel Cummins, 54.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 a flashing square drive, slapped carelessly to backward point! That's a bonus breakthrough, to keep Kent very much in the contest 51/27.5 Stevens with the early breakthrough, doing what he does so well! Just back of a full length, middle-and-leg line, jagging to off as Haines fences his bat down the line, and snicks through to the keeper 24/1Extras24 (b 11, lb 5, nb 8)TOTAL256 all out (76.3 Overs, RR: 3.34)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Tom Haines, 7.5 ov), 2-51 (Aaron Thomason, 15.6 ov), 3-103 (Travis Head, 29.4 ov), 4-123 (Stiaan van Zyl, 34.5 ov), 5-184 (Tom Clark, 54.5 ov), 6-202 (Ben Brown, 59.5 ov), 7-212 (Delray Rawlins, 64.1 ov), 8-241 (George Garton, 70.6 ov), 9-245 (Jofra Archer, 72.4 ov), 10-256 (Ollie Robinson, 76.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.6 extra bounce on a fourth-stump line, DBD is lured into a fatal prod and deflects a fast low chance to third slip! 59/29.3 savage full-length inswinger! Cox is pinned on the crease with nowhere to go! That was quick, full and tailing wickedly at the last split-second, not a lot you can do about those! Might even have been doing too much, but he was beaten for all money 22/1Extras39 (b 15, lb 17, nb 6, w 1)TOTAL387/4d (111 Overs, RR: 3.48)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Jordan Cox, 9.3 ov), 2-59 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 21.6 ov), 3-189 (Zak Crawley, 56.6 ov), 4-361 (Ollie Robinson, 101.6 ov)
