The day’s star was Matt Parkinson. The young England leg-spinner claimed a seven-wicket haul, taking his career first-class bowling average below 24.

He can count himself slightly fortunate to have picked up his third wicket in the way he did. Bowling to Jack Leaning a ball after the dismissal of Zak Crawley, Leaning chipped his first delivery straight back to Parkinson who took a straightforward return catch.

However, replays suggested that the ball likely hit the ground before spooning up to Parkinson. Kent skipper Sam Billings – who is away with Delhi Capitals at the IPL – took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the decision, saying: “How has that been given out!”
