Both Kent and Gloucestershire, though in the top half of the League table, are finding it difficult to stay in touch with the leaders, Lancashire. Kent's defeat by Essex at Aveley on July 20 was a severe blow to their hopes, but all is not yet lost for either side with sixteen points still to be gained from the four remaining matches.
Commentary team at Folkestone: John Arlott, Richie Benaud, Jim Laker
Today's other fixtures: Derbyshire v. Nottinghamshire, Essex v. Sussex, Hampshire v. Leicestershire, Lancashire v. Yorkshire, Middlesex v. Somerset, Surrey v. Northamptonshire, Warwickshire v. Worcestershire
