Warwickshire 229-4 v Kent
Ben Watts
Sports reporter, BBC Radio Kent
Image source, PATwo sessions in and this match is neatly poised following a spirited fight back from Warwickshire this afternoon.
Captain Jeetan Patel's sheer determination has helped his side wrestle back an element of control from Kent, who were at one stage cruising along on 169-1.
But Craig Miles got Australian Matt Renshaw to nick a drive behind, Harry Brookes then dismissed Daniel Bell-Drummond cheaply before Patel himself snatched the big wicket of centurion Zak Crawley (pictured above), all caught behind by wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose.
Despite being dropped on 46 at second slip, Crawley's second first-class hundred was almost flawless and brilliant to watch. The 21-year-old hit 18 boundaries in his knock of 108, and looks set to make a big impression in Division One this summer.
