Muyeye keeps Kent’s hopes alive but Worcestershire close on win

Worcestershire remain favourites to secure a second successive win in the Championship on Sunday against the only side below them in the Division One table, with Kent just 77 runs ahead with two wickets remaining.

Tom Taylor – who took three for 85 from 22 overs – collected two wickets with the second new ball to tip the balance of the game.

Kent resumed on 104-2 in their second innings, needing a further 172 to avoid an innings defeat.

Leaning began proceedings with a trio of boundaries but New Zealand’s Hartshorn trapped him lbw for 27.

Adam Finch achieved another breakthrough when Evison pushed forward and was caught behind.

Harry Finch provided staunch support for Muyeye before he was lbw after adding 81 with Muyeye.

Stewart adopted an aggressive approach in another fruitful partnership of 84 in 16 overs.

Taylor struck with the second new ball as Stewart was trapped lbw for 41 and then had Matt Parkinson caught behind before Hartshorn ended Muyeye’s brilliant innings.
