  • Leicestershire preserved their Division Two lead at Canterbury with a remarkable 108-run last-wicket partnership between Tom Scriven and Josh Hull.
  • Kent anchored their reply to Leicestershire’s 471 through Ben Compton’s gritty 101 not out, making him the second Division Two batsman to reach 1,000 runs.
