Kent remain in relegation trouble with 121-run defeat against Lancashire
Comments |
Kent suffered a 121-run defeat in their latest LV=
County Championship clash at home to Lancashire on Saturday.
Set 339 to win and resuming the
final day on 84-2, Simon Cook was the last man to be dismissed just
after lunch as Kent were bowled out for 217 in their second
innings.
Kent were always
struggling to make a successful run-chase as Tom Smith
(3-44) and Glen Chapple (3-39) both struck twice to leave them
100-6.
Matt Coles (51) and James Tredwell
(36) did offer some resistance with an eight wicket partnership of
72, but both fell to the spin of Gary Keedy (4-53).
Coles registered his maiden half
century with six fours and a six in his 51, while Tredwell
also hit five fours.
Kent remain third from bottom and
deep in relegation trouble, only six points above Essex but with a
game in hand.
