Kent tail denies Hants top spot
LONDON, May 15: Hampshire missed out on the chance on Saturday to go top of the County Championship First Division after Kent’s last wicket pair held out for a draw at Canterbury. Set 485 to win, Kent were in dire straits at 380 for eight with more than two hours left on the final day of four.
However, tailenders Min Patel and Simon Cook kept Hampshire at bay, Kent passing 400, before Cook was bowled by leg-spin legend Shane Warne for 37.
