Hampshire 89 for 0 (Middleton 39*, Weatherley 38*) path Kent 95 (Muyeye 28, Fuller 5-21, Abbott 3-23) by six runs

Muyeye, again within the aspect after scoring a glut of runs for the second XI, appeared extra at residence, however after a usually enticing 28 he was lbw to Fuller.

With Kent floundering on 56 for 4, Cox emerged from the pavilion however the rain then grew to become too heavy for the umpires to disregard and play did not resume till 3.58pm.

By then circumstances had improved however batting did not seem any simpler. Cox scratched out 12 earlier than Fuller had him caught behind and Joey Evison was subsequent, leaving a Fuller supply that clipped the highest of his off stump.

Jack Leaning at the very least provided some resistance, hanging round for 96 balls till Abbott had him caught by Liam Dawson at second slip for twenty-four, however when he went the tail was worn out.

Grant Stewart grew to become Fuller's fifth sufferer when he was caught behind for 14 and Hamid Qadri was out for a five-ball duck, driving Abbott to Barker at mid-on.

A dismal innings concluded when Wes Agar was caught by Ben Brown off Abbott for nought. Kent's joyless day was encapsulated as Weatherley nicked Agar behind when he was on 29 and Cox failed to hold on to a routine probability.
