KENT’S Frizzell Championship match with Lancashire resumed after almost two days of inactivity with Kent taking up their first innings at 15 without loss on the third morning of a rain-ruined game.

But play lasted for just 27 minutes before rain and bad light struck again, forcing the players from the field with Kent on 30 without loss.

Visiting openers Rob Key and David Fulton both took boundaries in the opening thrusts, Key clipping a Peter Martin half-volley to backward square, while Fulton steered a Glen Chapple leg-cutter to the third man ropes.
