    I was asked to make up numbers for my local seconds. Found a surprisingly intact cheese sandwich I'd left in my bag from the last time I played, six years prior.

    Lead by 15

    Much, much better from these two against Chase than what we saw this morning. Four runs, all of them singles, from the spinner's over.

    I'm struggling to get over Dan eating 15-year-old chewing gum.

    Dan, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here but that's disgusting. Made me laugh, though.

    After not playing for 15 years I found an old pack of chewing gum in my bag. I wondered if gum goes off so I had a stick. It goes off.

    Denly 20, Crawley 7

    Another maiden for Kemar Roach. That's his sixth of the innings and 12th in the match.

    Denly is into the 20s, by the way. Danger time.

    I like that shot. Simple and well executed. He got enough on it, nice use of the feet.

    Lead by 11

    Oh that's lovely from Zak Crawley.

    Roston Chase is back in the attack and the 22-year-old skips down to the spinner and chips the ball over mid-on for four. He then calmly knocks a single after the fielder was pushed back a ball later.

    Very good batting.

    With the two Kent men at the crease, it seems like a good time to mention that every run Denly and Crawley score earns money for the Lord's Taverners charity.

    England are effectively 6-2. How many would they be able to defend?

    200? 240?

    Any club cricketers get out caught down the leg side today like Sibley after an 11-month absence?

    You'd be furious.

    It was an eventful few balls for Dom Sibley.

    He got to 50, was reprieved thanks to a no-ball but then saw the finger go up for a second time moments later.

    Well that's a text we've never had before and probably won't have again.

    That's drinks.

    I used to use my old bag from the army as a kit bag. I found a grenade pin in my kit... I had evidently thrown the grenade many years ago in training and pocketed it.

    Zak Crawley hasn't settled yet with Gabriel running in hard. He gets off the mark from his seventh delivery with an ugly squirt for two.

    I've always felt with Joe Denly that he works so hard and soaks up so much pressure and deliveries. He doesn't get the big scores he deserves.

    And now that's a better pull from Joe Denly. He takes it on again and absolutely nails it to the boundary.

    ENGLAND ARE INTO THE LEAD.

    I think that was more a case of having that extra review so just trying and seeing what happens.

    A flat line. There's no bat on that. Denly just missed it.

    Not out.

    Denly doesn't look fussed.
