County Championship: Kent press for win after Daniel Bell-Drummond scores 300 at Northampton
Daniel Bell-Drummond is only the fourth Kent player to score a triple century in the County ChampionshipKeogh 57, Procter 52, Zaib 43*Northamptonshire trail Kent by 170 runs with five wickets standingKent's Daniel Bell-Drummond became Wantage Road's first visiting triple centurion as his side closed in on an innings victory against Northamptonshire in the County Championship.
However, spirited half-centuries by Rob Keogh - his second of the match - and skipper Luke Procter maintained their side's hopes of avoiding defeat as they reached 214-5, still 170 adrift, before bad light halted play. However, wickets began to tumble to the young spinner, with Joey Evison lured down the track and stumped for 27 before Hamid Qadri and Wes Agar also perished in pursuit of quick runs.
Having slammed the next ball into the hands of deep midwicket, Arshdeep raced off to lace up his bowling boots as he and Agar hurtled in for a pre-lunch burst at Northamptonshire's openers. Denly, who remained on throughout most of the afternoon, might have collected a third wicket when Ben Compton was unable to grasp a sharp chance from Keogh at short leg with the right-hander on 18.
