Yorkshire's Jonny Bairstow hits a ton to frustrate Kent

Jonny Bairstow scored a fine century as Yorkshire produced a resilient batting display on the third day against Kent.

Joe Sayers and Anthony McGrath were dismissed early on but Yorkshire were saved by Bairstow's effort of 107.

Gary Ballance also scored 45 and Andrew Gale made 44 as the hosts reached 316-6, although they still need to score another 72 runs to avoid the follow on.
