    Crawley c Lloyd b van der Gugten 0 (Kent 62-2 v Glamorgan)

    Timm van der GugtenImage source, Rex Features

    A very smart 43 from Ollie Robinson has helped Kent to a bright start but he's now gone.

    Pushing hard at Timm van der Gugten he's edged to second slip.

    He had looked in good order, taking two boundaries off his legs from Dan Douthwaite and driving Michael Neser through mid-off.

    England batsman Zak Crawley to the middle.
