The home side resumed with a mountain to climb at 156-8 in their first innings, and although George Garrett edged Fernando over the slips, the tail-ender dominated the early scoring in a stand of lasted 52 minutes before Garrett, on 35, edged Zain Ul Hassan behind, and the seamer then bowled Kashif Ali for three leaving former Warwickshire wicketkeeper Benjamin frustratingly stranded six short of a first ton for his new county. Harry Finch and Ben Compton defended quietly until lunch but after the break Finch hit the first three balls from Ul Hassan for four, only to lose partner Compton lbw to Fernando for top order fell apart for the second time in the game as Daniel Bell-Drummond edged Andy Gorvin to a diving Kiran Carlson at slip and Finch (28) edged Fernando through to Chris Cooke.A bizarre interruption saw most of the players and umpires hit the deck briefly as a bee swarm was sighted, not helping Jack Leaning's concentration as he was caught behind off Fernando next ball. Ekansh Singh, 18, was on a pair but squirted one past short-leg to get off the mark to knowledgeable applause from the Kent faithful, managing one boundary before providing Cooke with another catch off van der Netherlands international then disposed of Benjamin and Grant Stewart before top scorer Muyeye was trapped lbw by James Harris and Matt Parkinson hammered a return catch to Ben the afternoon session was extended, a slightly farcical end saw the visitors turn to double spin to improve their over-rate and last man Kashif slammed Kiran Carlson for three sixes. He holed out to Gorvin on the mid-wicket boundary for 32 and that was that with four sessions to spare.

Chris Benjamin (68 not out) led a relative fightback but the hosts are still under the cosh at the halfway was a remarkable turnaround of fortunes from the opening weeks of the season, when Kent won two out of three while Glamorgan lost two from three. Resuming on 389-7 with Kellaway on 91 and the battle for bonus points the other immediate concern, the Chepstow youngster was happy to take his time over reaching three figures, achieved with a stylish cover drive for three off Kashif Andy Gorvin was dropped behind on 14 off Kashif but put together a quietly efficient stand of 108 with Kellaway as Kent suffered in the sun, collecting just two bowling points to the visitors' four with the eventually holed out to deep square off perspiring leg-spinner Matt Parkinson for a solid 47 off 99 bowled James Harris for 12 as he looked to add quick runs after lunch, but Kellaway struck him for three successive sixes and a four in a spectacular burst of hitting before Sam Northeast called them in. Kellaway faced 228 balls, striking 18 fours in addition to those maximums over mid-wicket, having hit a maiden first-class 50 only two matches under scoreboard pressure, then lost five wickets for just 23 inside 15 overs, after the returning Harris struck with his second ball of the season, having Harry Finch lbw before forcing Ben Compton to lob a catch to der Gugten had Kent captain Daniel Bell-Drummond, off the back of a double hundred, in all sorts of trouble before he edged to a hostile nine-over spell, the Netherlands international then had Tawanda Muyeye and debutant Ekansh Singh caught at short-leg as both lobbed up catches, before Jack Leaning and Benjamin steadied the ship in a stand of had problems against Asitha Fernando, reaching 37 before the Sri Lankan won an lbw verdict, and Harris quickly forced Grant Stewart to play the wicketkeeper recruited from Warwickshire, was lucky to survive a few moments against the seam of Zain Ul Hassan on his way to 50 off 83 Gorvin had Matt Parkinson well caught behind off the inside edge for 13 though George Garrett survived the closing overs alongside Benjamin.
