Match Notes

  • Essex crumble after Billings maiden ton

    Kent's mammoth first-innings score included a maiden Championship hundred for Sam Billings before Essex crumbled by an innings and plenty at Tunbridge Wells

  • No debacle at Tunbridge Wells

    Only 30 miles down the road from England's debacle at Lord's, life at Tunbridge Wells chugged along much as always

  • Stevens four-for restricts Essex

    A miserly stint of 4 for 37 by Kent allrounder Darren Stevens ensured that the hosts enjoyed an opening day in the sun against Essex in Tunbridge Wells
