Graham Hardcastle on BBC Radio Lancashire:

"That's a decent start for Lancashire. Ahead of the rate already and it will have settled the nerves.

"Lancashire should win this, but it's not going to be quite as easy as you might think."

Matt Coles starts off by bowling a wide down the leg side, before keeping things tight for a few balls.

But Ashwell Prince oozes class and plays a short arm jab for four through the vacant mid-wicket area.

Eight off the first over.

The Lancashire openers, Ashwell Prince and Alex Davies are strolling to the middle.

They have just 143 to chase, but Kent will definitely feel boosted by that eighth-wicket half-century stand.

Matt Coles will open the bowling for Kent.

"That partnership between Cowdrey and Tredwell got them to a position where you just thought Kent could be competitive, but they've made some poor decisions there in the final over.

"We've seen 140 defended in games before, but the key is their bowlers are going to have to be disciplined against a stacked Lancashire batting line-up."

And that will be that! James Faulkner keeps it straight and full and it's enough to beat Ivan Thomas.

Kent are all out for 142, but it's a pretty good recovery from 86-7.

"This final over has not been too successful. Just five runs off the first five deliveries and Tredwell has faced just one of them."

Mitch Claydon gets an edge for four off James Faulkner, but the Australian follows it up by bowling another straight one which clatters into his stumps.

Good final over from the Aussie quick so far.

"Good knock from Cowdrey. A good partnership between this pair, which might just give them a chance."

Kent have to take every run available in this final over, but it's led to the dismissal of Fabian Cowdrey.

Cowdrey tries to sneak a quick single but James Faulkner scoops the ball up and throws down the stumps.

Cowdrey is just short but he's got his side back in this game.

"James Tredwell has played the right options here and backed himself after some pretty terrible shots earlier on from his team-mates."

Fabian Cowdrey and James Tredwell are really fighting for Kent and it's another expensive over with 11 coming from it.

Cowdrey plays a cheeky reverse sweep for four off Kyle Jarvis' first ball and Tredwell follows it up by clipping another boundary off his legs.

This pair have put on 50 in five overs. Great stuff.

Peter Guise on BBC Radio Kent:

"This is superb stuff from these two. We expect they'll have to do plenty with the ball when Lancashire bat, but this is superb batting.

"The crowd have really enjoyed that over while they bathe in the sunshine."

James Faulkner is back into the attack, but he's greeted by James Tredwell cutting him away for four.

The former England spinner then pulls him away for a maximum followed by a similar shot for another boundary.

That was far too short from Faulkner.

16 from the over, and the crowd is suddenly in fine voice.

Matt Cole on BBC Radio Kent:

"If Kent can get 140 then anything is just possible. They'll need to take wickets regular, but if they can tie Lancashire's batsmen down, you just never know."

That's a better over for Kent as James Tredwell finds the boundary with a delicate cut shot.

Seven runs come from it and Arron Lilley finishes a fine spell with figures of 2-21.

James Tredwell and Fabian Cowdrey have settled things down after that flurry of wickets.

However, Kyle Jarvis' over goes for just four runs and at this stage you have to feel it's not enough.

Four overs to go.

Well we've just seen an over without a wicket...seems a long time since I've been able to say that!

Fabian Cowdrey and James Tredwell are content to knock Steven Croft's 15th over around for a few singles.

Five overs to go, can Kent get up to 140?

Charles Dagnall

"Kent are unravelling. What was Matt Coles doing there?

"In a T20 match, seven overs is a long time. He had so many other choices of shot he could have played there.

"In that given situation, it seems crazy to me."

You have to say this is pretty brainless batting from Kent.

Matt Coles, who has just come to the crease, tries to cream Stephen Parry over the leg-side but gets another top edge and Alex Davies takes the easiest of catches.

Kent face a battle to see out their overs from here.
