Kent rally but Rhodes double ton keeps Bears on top

Former skipper Will Rhodes marked his penultimate home game as a Warwickshire player by completing a double century to put his side in total command against Kent at Edgbaston.

Durham-bound Rhodes struck a chanceless 201 in a six-and-a-half hour marathon as Warwickshire reached 420 to earn a first-innings lead of 264 and a huge chance of a first County Championship Division One win of the season.

But Kent rallied well in their second innings to closed the second day on 157-3, within 107 of making the Bears bat again.

Kent skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond added 116 in 29 overs without too many alarms against the Kookaburra ball.

But he was adjudged lbw for 78 to a ball which appeared to be passing well down the leg side.

Finch then departed in equal disbelief at being given out caught at slip off his shoulder.

But it meant three more wickets for Olly Hannon-Dalby, who ended the day on 3-26, having taken his 2024 Championship wicket tally to 43.
