Rehan Ahmed hit a brilliant 119 as the division two leaders reached 386–9 in stumps one day in their county championship match against Kent in Lessestershire Cantorbury.
Rishi Patel, when he was at zero, dropped in the first over, he made 85 for the second wicket with Ahmed at a stand of 164, who hit three sixes and 17 fours in a fiery innings, which defined the sad circumstances and a green wicket.
Matt Parkinson took 7-104 and is definitely for the best figures of a career, if he can improve 7–126, he took Lancashire against Kent at the site in 2021.
Tom Screwn and Josh plows were not closed at 39 and 12 respectively.
Kent’s bowling decision saw appropriate to see the weather and wicket’s hue, but less, when the lesesterreshire reached 120-1 for lunch, by that time the hosts learned that they were eight points for repeated violations of the disciplinary code.
Given that they already had 18 points in the leg of the table, it was very low to lighten the mood among the 1,200 congestion and the tone was set when Ben Competon dropped Patel with the fifth ball of the morning when he staged Wes Egar.
The only wicket came in the 11th over when Sol Budinger played for 27 and Patel got a second life when he was at 26 and cut Joy Evison. The ball hit Keeper Harry Finch on the glove before the lack of Tawanda Muaye in the first slip.
Patel and Ahmed reached their half-century with both sixes, in the past who flew on the square-foot with an Agar, hooking the same bowler on the latter backward class, but the afternoon session was more than a competition.
Parkinson broke the partnership when he made Patel unhappy to charge the wicket and Finch stopped him and with his next delivery he was brilliantly caught by a diving Muye in Slip.
Ahmed arrived in his century when he naked Parkinson for a single, but Avison then got Peter Handscomb LBW 18 and Parkinson got Ahmed when Muaye took a catch.
Tea Kent was a bowler below, as the stand-in skipper Grant Stewart lashed with a hamstring injury, but Louis left for Kimber 17, was caught by Sub Kashif Ali, when he was out for Parkinson and in the second time the bowler found himself on a hat-kan, when Ben Green caught the Debut Ben Decins.
Logan van Beak survived it very comfortably, but when Parkinson caught him in Short Third Man by George Gart, he made it only five. Ian Holland went to almost the same fashion for 49, before the players left for a bad light on 17:50 BST.
Almost all of the people in the ground left when the umpires called the players back to 18:25 and Leicestershire added 20 useful runs in 5.5 overs.
