Northamptonshire are closing in on an innings victory against Kent in their Rothesay County Championship match at Canterbury after enforcing the follow on and reducing the hosts to 162 for three at stumps.
Kent finally offered some resistance on day three, but they suffered a double blow late on; James Sales removed Sam Northeast for 69, thanks to a brilliant diving catch by George Bartlett at leg gully, and Calvin Harrison then bowled night-watcher Matt Milnes for a duck.
Earlier Harry Conway took five for 36 as Kent were skittled for 178 in their first innings, a deficit of 506. Conway then removed England’s Zak Crawley for five, but Ben Compton and Northeast put on a stand of 152, until Sales and Bartlett intervened.
Compton was unbeaten on 70 but the hosts remain 344 behind going into the final day.
