The Assassins live up to their name, destroying the Spitfires. Luck is even on their side, when a full toss on middle stump is given LBW by Umpire Bucknor to remove Key - an easy decision. Manee gets his 2nd in just his 2nd over of FC cricket. Fantastic. He and Williams continue to bamboozle the batsman with their movement, with one from Manee even being too much for keeper Pleavin, resulting in 4 byes.
At this rate, we could be having an early lunch.

The flow of quick wickets appear to be stemmed, as too have the runs. Carberry and Hall are building confidence slowly, with Andrew Hall sitting at just 1 off 20 deliveries so far. Manee and Williams continue to bowl tight - the Assassins seem to be losing some of the pressure they applied earlier in the innings, with misfields and overstepping appearing in the innings.
Carberry top edges a surprisingly short ball from Tahir and it is comfortably taken by Culli out in cover, who takes his 2nd catch. Tahir grabs his first wicket, and momentum swings back to the Assassins. Not much left in the Kent batting now. This match could turn out to be a farce.
