KENT dismised the Steelbacks for 211 to give themselves a fair chance of victory in today's totesport League match in Northamptonshire.

Uzman Afzaal with 66 from 89 balls top-scored, skipper David Sales hit an unbeaten 51 from 55 balls and Martin van Jaarsveld a patient 36.

Martin Saggers celebrated his 32nd birthday with three wickets for 30 runs and was easily the pick of the Spitfires attack.

David Fulton used four spinners on another slow Northamptonshire pitch, but only Rob Ferley with two for 37 enjoyed any success.
