Kent were made to toil in the field and trail Essex by 247 runs with nine wickets left after day two of the sides’ County Championship Division 1 clash at Chelmsford.

Declaring on 458-8 after ending day one 106 without loss, the hosts had the added bonus of a Kent wicket with the last ball of the evening, Tawanda Muyeye lbw to Sam Cook for a duck.

Matt Critchley’s second century of the season had put Essex in the driving seat on a strange day of substitutes and concussion repercussions.

The 26-year-old faced just 168 balls in rattling up 117 runs as Essex put Kent to the sword while building a first-innings lead of 251.

When Prithvi Shaw emerged in the Indian cricket scene, he was expected to be the next big thing. After great success at the U-19 level, Shaw had a stupendous start to his senior career too as he scored a ton against West Indies in 2018. He started getting chances in the Indian team and played five Tests, six ODIs and one T20I for the senior team. But injuries and off-form ruined his chances as he gradually lost his place in the senior side. He also got involved in off-field controversies as his cricket career for India looked like slipping away. Shaw now plays domestic cricket and with a hope to revive his career has joined English County Northamptonshire for this season.
