Kent achieved an impressive eight-wicket victory over Middlesex in the Rothesay County Championship, powered by centuries from Tawanda Muyeye (125 not out) and Ben Compton (124 not out), who formed a record partnership of 225 runs. Middlesex had set a target of 316 runs after being all out for 311, with significant contributions from Ben Geddes (75) and Zafar Gohar (57).

This match showcased Kent's resilience and batting strength, overcoming an initial setback when they were reduced to 91-2. The victory marks a significant achievement in their campaign in the County Championship.
