The loss of a day and half to rain, and a pitch which flattened once the sun finally came out, ultimately proved to be the decisive factors as the Specsavers Division Two county championship match between Leicestershire and Kent ended in a draw, with both sides taking maximum bonus points.
A remarkable day’s play saw 484 runs scored and 13 wickets fall as Kent, with Darren Stevens inevitably leading the counter-attack, fought back after being reduced to 144-5 replying to Leicestershire’s first innings score of 420.
Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens is top of the overall Professional Cricketers’ Association Most Valuable Player Rankings as county cricket switches from white to red ball cricket.
