KENT V YORKSHIRE - DAY 4
A great start to the day for Yorkshire with Gillespie getting Van Jaarsveld with no addition to the overnight score. It then got even better when Kruis got rid of Robert Key caught by Younus Khan for 84 (179 balls, 9 fours. At 173 for 3 Yorkshire were on top. It then got even better when Tim Bresnan took two wickets in an over, first Stevens caught by Sayers for 14 and then Dexter taken by keeper Simon Guy for 0. At 201 for 5 victory looked in site. That was as good as it got for the Tykes as they were help up by James Tredwell, the left hander went into the match with a First Class average of 19 and a top score 61. 303 minutes later when the game ended as a draw he was 116 not out (233 balls, 14 fours). Amazingly the broken fingured Darren Gough came back to bowl and took a wicket, Jones for 15, to give Yorkshire a bit of hope but an unbeaten half century from Andrew Hall ensured that Kent closed the game out as a draw, finishing on 383 for 6. All Yorkshire's bowlers bowled tightly, Gillespie's 2 for 82 was the pick. Rashid was wicketless but accurately going for only 77 in 35 overs.
