Kent win and bowl ...
... which is probably a smart move, as the track is so green it's difficult to tell where the strip ends.
There's one change to the side that beat Lancs, with Ekansh Singh coming in for Bertie Foreman.

Welcome to Day One
Morning everyone and welcome to The St Lawrence, where Kent will be promoted if they can beat Gloucestershire and accumulate 20 points in the process.
While we wait for the toss, KCCC have provided us with a helpful list of milestones that could be reached during this game:
Chris Benjamin needs 148 for 1,000 Championship runs this season
Ben Dawkins needs 116 runs for 1,000 all-format Kent career runs
Grant Stewart needs 16 runs for 3,500 all-format Kent career runs
Tawanda Muyeye needs 78 runs for 4,500 all-format Kent career runs
Matt Milnes needs 5 wickets for 50 Championship wickets this season
Chris Benjamin needs 2 catches for 50 all-format Kent career catches
The wicket looks kermit's backside, so the last two look more likely than the first four.
Keep it right here for live updates throughout the day!
