Not a bad bowling performance, but the missed stumping of Billings might end up being costly.  Not sure we have enough batting firepower without Brathwaite, but we'll see.

Not a bad performance in the field from the Bears, a few missed chances including two in one Linton over. Lintott’s piece of mind for the run out was fantastic.

I’d have the Bears as slight favourites at the moment.

We have the next Saffer (England) hope in Chris Benjamin, who if he gets in is a destructive batsman. He could do it on his own.

I've given up and put Cruella on. At least I don't have to worry about missing Finals Day to watch the Villa.

Billings got in the openers' ears and they've totally bottled it. Never recovered.

It’s a piss poor effort with the bat but some fantastic Kent bowling.

Nick Knight and Rob Key made the point in commentary that teams really need to try and attack in the power play.  Benjamin aside, we didn't look to do that.

For a while we've needed 3 a ball. We still need 3 a ball. Just, just hanging in there...
