Kent suffered their second Royal London One-Day Cup loss on the spin with a four-wicket defeat in a run-riot at Somerset on Tuesday evening.

Superb centuries from Daniel Bell-Drummond and Alex Blake - who smashed 116 from just 58 balls - saw Kent to an imposing total of 352-6 from their 50 overs.

However on a good pitch the hosts paced their reply perfectly with Peter Trego compiling a fine 135 and quickfire half-centuries from Dean Elgar and James Hildreth taking their side to the brink of victory, which they eventually achieved with 15 balls remaining.

Kent won the toss and opted to bat first and though Joe Denly went for a golden duck, Bell-Drummond cashed-in on a flat track, adding 115 with Sam Northeast for the second wicket in less than 24 overs.

Northeast went for 51, which came from 78 balls, to leave the visitors on 116-2, and Darren Stevens (14) followed him soon after which brought Blake to the crease.

Blake and Bell-Drummond added 120 from just 69 deliveries as 146/3 became 266/3 but Bell-Drummond departed for a fine 106 from 120 balls which featured eight fours.

Blake's onslaught continued apace and he blitzed past his previous career best of 89 on his way to a 46-ball century, eventually departing for 116 from just 58 balls, 10 of which were dispatched for four with another seven launched over the Taunton boundary

Sean Dickson provided support in a fine white-ball cameo which yielded 31 runs from 15 balls, with three fours and two sixes and Wayne Parnell also cleared the ropes in his 11 not out as Kent posted 352-6 from their 50 overs.

A total of 216 runs came from the last 20 overs of their innings.

Kent looked slight favourites for much of the reply but were hampered by the loss of Parnell to injury after bowling just four overs, during which had bowled opener Steven Davies for nought.

With Matt Coles missing through illness, the workload fell to Mitch Claydon, James Harris and Stevens with James Tredwell and Denly the spin options.

Jim Allenby fell to Harris for 18 but Trego and Elgar shared 108 runs for the third wicket before Hildreth joined Trego to crack another 131 in the next 15.5 overs.

Hildreth hit 64 from 44 before holing-out to Bell-Drummond off Tredwell (3-65), who also accounted for Trego with the penultimate ball of his spell, Harris taking the catch after a 119-ball stay which featured six fours and as many sixes.

With 49 balls remaining to get the 59 runs required, the game remained in the balance but 39 from Adam Hose dampened Kent's hopes and Roelof van der Merwe (15 not out) saw the hosts home.
