Kent's Adam Rouse struck a century in a six-wicket victory for Sevenoaks Vine over Beckenham.

Sent in to bat, Beckenham endured a difficult start when both openers were back in the pavilion with just 22 on the board.

Kent's Alex Blake made just 10 before edging a widish delivery from Tom Coldman to keeper Ben Price.

Worse was to follow as Stuart Binny drove at one that didn’t come on from Chris Vernon’s medium-pace to be caught by Rouse.

The welcome return of Dan Hardy provided Will MacVicar with a solid partner and the pair added 40 before MacVicar (40) holed out against the left-arm spin of Andy Reid-Dick.

Hardy didn’t last much longer before Reid-Dick lured him a long way down the track for Price to make an easy stumping for 23.

Mahfuzul was eventually run out but Malcolm then hit 20 in the final over to lift the score to 205-8.

Binny got Beckenham off to a great start when Jon Bowden edged to Malcolm at slip, before trapping Vernon in front to leave Vine on 10-2.

At the other end, MacVicar had bowled accurately for no reward when he was replaced by Malcolm.

Mike Barber had settled in well and drove one back at Malcolm who managed to deflect the ball onto the stumps with skipper Luke Schlemmer backing up to make the score 26-3.

Visiting skipper Alex Senn tried all manner of bowling combinations to no avail as the Vine pair batted imperiously and the Beckenham fielding became more ragged.

Both batsmen reached their fifties at almost a run-a-ball but Rouse began to move through the gears to dominate the partnership and set Vine on the brink of victory by reaching a superb century from 89 balls.

The 171-run stand was ended by Shojib Ali, finally bowling Rouse for 106 and leaving Barber (73 not out) and Price to see their side home by six wickets in the 43rd over.
