  1. Kent 162-0published at 16:24 British Summer Time 14 June 2018

    Thanks Rob. Kent only require around 3.7 runs per over to win this. To say Notts need wickets is an understatement.

  2. Kent 162-0 (Target 256)published at 25 overs

    Bell-Drummond 61, Kuhn 100

    Harry Gurney is back in the Notts attack, and throws in a wide with his second delivery.

    That's the first extra conceded by the Outlaws.

    Bell-Drummond gets a single, and just two runs come from the over.

    We are yet to have a maiden in the Kent innings.

    And with that, it is time to hand you over to Steve Marshall to guide you through the rest of Kent's run chase.

  3. Yorks 157-4published at 37 overs

    Ballance 78, Leaning 46

    Jamie Porter sent down some sizzlers in that over to the unfortunate Jack Leaning, who completely lost the line of one and took one in his body.

    There were a few eyeballs between batsman and bowler during that over.

    Maiden for the venomous Porter and Leaning's wait for the 50 goes on...

  4. Kent 160-0 (Target 256)published at 24 overs

    Bell-Drummond 60, Kuhn 100

    Seven runs off the over, with Daniel Bell-Drummond hitting a four.

    Kent need 96 more runs with 10 wickets in hand, and Notts look completely out of it.

  5. Yorks 156-4published at 36 overs

    Ballance 78, Leaning 45

    Mixed over for Simon Harmer, who had Jack Leaning right up on his own stumps a couple of times but was also dispatched to the boundary first ball of the over.

    Leaning - not far off his 50 - survived a vain appeal for lbw in the mix too. Well-poised game this now.

  6. 100 runs

    100 for Kuhnpublished at 23.3 overs

    Kent 155-0

    Heino Kuhn has his ton, as he grabs a single before some rather understated celebrations.

    That's his third century if the season in the One-Day Cup.

    He has been very impressive, with his century coming in 87 balls with 11 fours and two sixes.

  7. Yorks 150-4published at 35 overs

    Ballance 78, Leaning 39

    Jamie Porter did so much damage early on in the innings but the Yorkshire resistance a little more dogged now.

    Porter steaming in with intent. Gary Ballance went for the pull a couple of times, chopping on almost up into the air, then finding a bit of space to nick a single and then crashes one to bring up Yorkshire's 150.

    Banged in there by the Essex man.

  8. Kent 153-0published at 23 overs

    Bell-Drummond 13, Kuhn 50

    The 150 is up for Kent in the 23rd over

    Two more singles take Heino Kuhn on to 99, and then Daniel Bell-Drummond takes a single down to third man with the last ball from the over.

  9. Yorks 148-4published at 34 overs

    Ballance 77, Leaning 38

    Century partnership reached in that over, again patient shot selection enough to bring up the landmark.

    Yorkshire happy to just allow the spinners to trundle in, taking no risks. Cool, calm and collected by Jack Leaning and Gary Ballance.

  10. Kent 149-0published at 22 overs

    Bell-Drummond 52, Kuhn 97

    A savage pull shot from Heino Kuhn, just forwards of square, then a single takes him on to 97.

    All of a sudden, Jake Ball flashes two balls down which beat chopping shots from Daniel Bell-Drummond.

  11. Yorkshire 143-4published at 33 overs

    Ballance 74, Leaning 36

    Yorkshire are unruffled by Ashar Zaidi's accurate bowling, with both Jack Leaning and Gary Ballance using good footwork to shuffle across the crease and play their shots.

    Only three runs to show for it though, one of which came from a wide.

  12. Kent 143-0published at 21 overs

    Bell-Drummond 51, Kuhn 92

    The runs keep coming, as seven come off that Chris Nash over.

    Kent are cruising. They need 113 more runs, and Heino Kuhn is close to his century.

  13. Kent 137-0 (target 256)published at 16:07 British Summer Time 14 June 2018

    Former Kent all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Nottinghamshire captain Steven Mullaney has tried to mix it up but Kent have batted brilliantly.

    There's not much you can really do if two players come out with intent and the ball is hitting the middle of the bat.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Bell-Drummondpublished at 20.1 overs

    Kent 137-0

    And Daniel Bell-Drummond brings up his half-century from the first ball of the over as he grabs a single.

    That came in 46 balls, with five fours.

  15. Yorks 140-4published at 32 overs

    Ballance 73, Leaning 35

    Jack LeaningImage source, Rex Features

    Ravi Bopara again mixing up the deliveries, again limiting the opportunities for runs for Yorkshire.

    Just three runs conceded, Jack Leaning trying to tip on into the onside and nicking the single in the final ball of the over.

  16. Kent 136-0published at 20 overs

    Bell-Drummond 49, Kuhn 87

    The runs keep coming, as Daniel Bell-Drummond cuts a wide delivery away for four.

    Eight in total come from that Jake Ball over. His figures are 0-35 so far.

    Kent look to be heading to Worcestershire on Sunday. The Outlaws need find some insipration from somewhere if they want to go to New Road.

    Another bowling change, as Chris Nash's off-spin comes on.

  17. Yorks 137-4published at 31 overs

    Ballance 72, Leaning 33

    Yorkshire's fifth-wicket partnership are happy to pick their shots in that Ashar Zaidi over.

    Matt Coles went sprawling to cut out a shot that looked like it would split the field, but when one did Jack Leaning was only able to pick up a single.

    Just ticking over there.

  18. Kent 128-0published at 19 mins

    Bell-Drummond 44, Kuhn 84

    Four runs over long on for Daniel Bell-Drummond, as Samit Patel continues.

    Bell-Drummond is closing in on his half-century, and Heino Kuhn is 84 from 72.

    Notts don't look like taking a wicket. There are 128 more required.

  19. Yorks 133-4published at 30 overs

    Ballance 70, Leaning 31

    Ravi Bopara, along with a tight field, keeps Jack Leaning on strike.

    Leaning tries to chop one away but some excellent fielding by Simon Harner sweeps up and denies Yorkshire a run.

    Maiden over for Bopara.

  20. Kent 122-0published at 18 overs

    Bell-Drummond 39, Kuhn 83

    Some more purposeful bowling from Jake Ball at the start of the 18th over, but then Heino Kuhn runs a single.

    Daniel Bell-Drummond then grabs a two, and finishes the over with a single to keep the strike as he moves on to 39 from 37 balls.
