Wes Agar’s five-wicket haul put Kent in the driving seat of their LV= Insurance County Championship Division 1 clash at bottom side Northamptonshire on Sunday.
Australian Agar bagged 5-63 as Northants were bowled out for 237 despite winning the toss and opting to bat first at Wantage Road.
A half-century from Tawanda Muyeye and Daniel Bell-Drummond’s unbeaten 48 saw Kent reduce the deficit to just 127 with nine first-innings wickets remaining by the close. “It was a great day of cricket for us,” said Agar. “Making early inroads helped.
I thought Arshdeep [Singh] bowled really well with the new ball. “For our batters to go in tonight, it’s not easy and I thought Tawanda [Muyeye] and Daniel [Bell-Drummond] played a great innings so far.
