Bottom side Kent handed eight-point deduction

Kent will now be 26 points adrift at the bottom of County Championship Division Two after their eight-point deduction

Kent have been docked eight points in the County Championship after a fourth incident of poor conduct this season.

It comes after Daniel Bell-Drummond showed dissent to the umpire in last week's Division Two defeat by Glamorgan.

Kent will now be 26 points adrift at the bottom of the table, and say they will not appeal against the decision.

The club's previous conduct penalties have been given to Matt Parkinson, also against Glamorgan, Kashif Ali against Gloucestershire and Tawanda Muyeye against Derbyshire.

All of the previous cases took place in May.
