  • Nottinghamshire remain one point adrift after skipper Haseeb Hameed’s unbeaten 103 became his third century of the season and his 1,000th run.
  • 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.
