With Kent and Middlesex up next, we've got an excellent chance of going 5 from 5 (if rain doesn't intervene),
 
Thank god that Pretorius turns up for the next game - Prest will finally be dropped.

But he shouldn't have even been playing here.
 
Presty needs to be dropped for his own sake, he's clearly struggling right now.

It's yet another decision which cannot be defended. It's not like we're so short of options that we've had no choice but to continue picking him.

Fair enough that we gave him the first game vs Essex, just to see if the change in format might free him up. But it was clear even then that he was still struggling - yet another bad drop catch from him - and so should have dropped immediately.

Orr must be livid, to have not played a single game for us in either format this season.
 
My guess is that Kent wouldn't be bowling Denly if Brevis was still batting.
 
Joe needs to bat through here. The batter at the other end can take the risk for next 3 or 4 overs.
 
Repeat that over 4 more times, and we'll hit 200.

Really weird that the Kent commentator suggested earlier than they'd want to keep us down to 135.
