Canterbury Week Day 2
Kent 416 v Middlesex 219-6
Day Two of the Festival started well but ended on a slightly flat note. It wasn't a bad day by the standards of the last three years, but by the standards of the last month or so it was just a little disappointing, with a huge stand of 160 between Holden and Zafar putting a severe dent in Kent's victory hopes.
