Kent struggled in helpful bowling conditions after a delayed start against Gloucestershire at Canterbury.

Only 16 overs were possible after the visitors opted to bowl when play began at 17:00 BST, with Darren Stevens making his 250th appearance for Kent.

Daniel Bell-Drummond was trapped lbw for 22 by left-arm seamer David Payne in the seventh over.

After a slow start, Sean Dickson (31) found some fluency as he and Joe Denly guided Kent to 67-1 at stumps.
