KENT face a stiff task of improving on Surrey's Twenty20 Cup total of 185 for seven.
England left-hander Mark Butcher was comfortably top-scorer for the hosts with 60 from 40-balls with 11 fours for good measure.
Acting skipper Andy symonds was the pick of the visiting attack with two for 21.
Kent fielded poorly and conceded 27 extras in a scrappy stint in the field, yet with 10 batsmen in the side and a short boundary on the gas-holder side of the ground, will fancy their chances of chasing the Surrey target.
