Luke Procter and Calvin Harrison both hit career-best scores of 261 not out and 153 respectively, as Northamptonshire declared 684 for two against Kent, before reducing the hosts to a lamentable 119 for six.

When Nathan McSweeney hit an unbeaten 101 it meant the visitors’ top four had all scored centuries for the first time ever, and Procter’s score beat the previous record for a Northants player in this fixture, the 208 made by Ben Duckett at Beckenham in 2016.
