Joey Evison (27 from 24) and Grant Stewart (25 from 15) did their best to raise the tempo only to be pegged back by a handy two-over stint of 2-12 from Tom Aspinwall as wickets continued to fall at the death.<\/p>\n
Kent’s tail did enough to clamber above the 150 mark, but Wood returned to wrap up the innings by dismissing Klaassen and last man Nathan Gilchrist in the final over for a total that looked below par.<\/p>\n
However, the target began to seem more distant for Lancashire when they swiftly sank to 5-2 in reply, with Phil Salt caught in the deep before a ball from Klaassen hit Luke Wells on the pads and trickled down his back leg onto the stumps.<\/p>\n
Livingstone gave his side impetus, slamming Nathan Gilchrist for a leg-side six and then, after being cleared to continue when a short ball veered onto his helmet, struck the next delivery for another maximum.<\/p>\n
Although skipper Keaton Jennings also departed, caught at backward square off Klaassen, Ashton Turner proved a capable foil for Livingstone with 22 from 14 until he heaved Evison to deep midwicket.<\/p>\n
By then, Livingstone had raced to his half-century from 25 balls, launching former team-mate Matt Parkinson for three enormous sixes in a single over to keep Lancashire firmly on track.<\/p>\n
The Spitfires leg-spinner struck twice in the space of three deliveries, dismissing Michael Jones (28 from 17) and Hartley for a duck to increase the pressure on Livingstone.<\/p>\n
But the 32-year-old responded with another bout of big hitting to take Lancashire across the line, finishing with a booming drive to the cover boundary off Gilchrist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joey Evison (27 from 24) and Grant Stewart (25 from 15) did their best to raise the tempo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-119460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
