Nottinghamshire (350 all out & 372-6 declared) beat Kent (316 all out and 85 all out) by 321 runs in County Championship Division 1 at Trent Bridge

A miserable second-innings batting display saw Kent bowled out for a measly 85 in their away County Championship Division 1 loss to Nottinghamshire on Friday.

Dane Paterson (5-41) and Brett Hutton (4-44) led the way for the hosts who dismissed Kent, now in the bottom two with three red-ball matches to play this summer, inside just 21.3 overs.

If anything, they went too well - the scoreboard turning so rapidly skipper Steven Mullaney might well have had to think again about when to declare.

When he did decide the moment was right, some 196 runs had been added in 78 minutes following their resumption on 176-1.

Of those, 114 came off just 77 balls in a blistering third-wicket stand between New Zealand's Young, who made 87 in the last innings of his brief attachment to the county, and Clarke, who blasted 73 from 40 balls.

Clarke hit three sixes, matching Young's tally of maximums in half the number of balls, and there were a couple each for Mullaney and Lyndon James, who hammered 42 in 18 balls for the sixth wicket before Mullaney's dismissal. He was bowled, aiming to inflict more damage in an Arafat Bhuiyan (1-41) over that had already gone for 20, which prompted the declaration.
