Kent 397 for 9 (Stevens 81) lead Worcestershire 211 by 186 runsScorecard Kents beneficiary Darren Stevens was already suited and booted by the close of play having top-scored with 81 during Kents fascinating Specsavers County Championship tussle with promotion-chasing Worcestershire.With a benefit dinner at the Shepherd Neame Brewery in Faversham awaiting him, Stevens admitted his disappointment after his side had closed on 397 for 9 for an overall lead of 186 at the mid-point of this the 165th Canterbury Cricket Week fixture.Were disappointed with our days work to be fair. I got in, Dickson and Denly did too, but we all got out without going on to get a big score, said the former Leicestershire batsman.Yes, weve got a nice little lead, but we only wanted to be four or five wickets won at this stage. Personally Im disappointed. I started counting down to my hundred and it proved a big mistake. Itll be the last time I ever do that and Im really gutted to miss out on three figures.If I were still there at the end of the day Id be sitting pretty on 140 not out and the side would have a 220 lead. We should be in a stronger position.The 40-year-old all-rounder batted 142 minutes and hit 12 fours and a six which, in tandem with half-centuries by Sean Dickson and Will Gidman - the latter on loan from Nottinghamshire and on his Kent county championship debut - ensured that the hosts will go into day three in a fairly dominant position.Resuming on their overnight score of 55 without loss in response to Worcestershires 211 all out, Kent lost three first-session wickets as batsmen again struggled to bat long-term on a spicy Canterbury pitch.Daniel Bell-Drummond, celebrating his 23rd birthday, added only seven to his first-day score before becoming the first casualty of Ladies Day at the worlds oldest cricket festival.The right-hander fenced a Kyle Abbott leg-cutter to second slip, where Ross Whiteley held onto the good catch diving to his left in front of first slip to make it 74 for 1.Joe Denly moved smoothly to 21 before having his off stump trimmed by a Charlie Morris yorker then Sam Northeast spooned a catch to cover off a leading edge to gift Ed Barnard a wicket and leave centre stage marooned on 995 county championship runs for the summer.At the other end Dickson, Kents South African-born right-hander, posted a 106-ball half-century with nine fours - his fourth 50 of the county championship campaign.Having taken his side in at lunch on 152 for 3, Dickson added only two to his interval score before chopping on against Ed Barnard to go for a well-made 77.Sam Billings and Stevens then teamed up to add an attractive 40 runs inside 13 overs before Billings, on 33, edged an attempted cut to the keeper off the bowling of Charlie Morris with Kent still trailing by two on first innings.Stevens and Alex Blake took the hosts into profit before Blake (9) lamely chipped to short mid-wicket off the bowling of Joe Leach with Kent seven short of their second batting bonus point.Stevens marched on to a 67 ball 50 with six fours and a six, the 69th half-century of his career but only the fourth of this somewhat barren benefit summer.Soon after tea and only 19 from is maiden ton of the summer Stevens slapped one to cover off the bowling of Joe Leach then James Tredwell gloved a half-hearted pull to the keeper to go for 9.The Kent tail wagged however, as Gidman and Matt Coles combined to add 51 inside 14 overs before left-handed Coles holed out to cow corner.Gidman was still unbeaten at the close however, having posted his maiden Championship 50 for Kent from 86 balls and with five fours.Isaiah Prince Jersey .

Nat Moore Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- While Odell Beckham Jr. probably must wait at least another week to play in a game with Victor Cruz, the thought of being on the same field with him and rookie Sterling Shepard is exciting.If all three can play, the Giants passing game has the potential to be very special.There is no doubt Beckham will continue to draw the double coverages, but that should help Cruz and Shepard, and make things a little easier for Eli Manning.Cruz, who missed all of last season with a calf injury, did not work Wednesday as the Giants held their final practice before Fridays preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.Coach Ben McAdoo was not available to update Cruzs status after practice, and offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan would not comment on his status.Beckham is ready, though, and so is Shepard, the second-round draft pick listed as a starter on the depth chart for the game.You put two people on me and you have one on one with them and I would take them one on one pretty much against anyone out there, so its going to be a lot of fun, Beckham said after practice.Beckham has had almost nothing but fun since joining the Giants two years ago. Despite missing the first four games in his rookie season with a hamstring injury, the flamboyant wide receiver has 187 catches for 2,755 yards and 25 touchdowns, including that memorable one-hander against Dallas as a rookie.This year has even more promise. The defense has been shored up via free agency, and the offense seemingly has some people who can complement Beckham. The six games the Giants lost in the final quarter and overtime in 2015 might now be winnable.I do feel as if this team is working harder, I feel as if we have a better chance at definitely being better than 6-10, and thats obviously the goal, Beckham said. One game at a time. You want to be playing on February 5 in HHouston.ddddddddddddAfter resting in the offseason, Beckham hopes to be more patient this year. He wants to run his routes better and be there for the new guys when they need help.Year in and year out, there is going to be something that I find to improve on and get better on, Beckham said. No matter what I do the year before, its always going to be what can I do to be better than last year?Sullivan called Beckham a special talent.I think when you are at practice, you guys witness, but mostly the fans or people who dont have the chance to come and see, how hard the guy works, Sullivan told reporters. He really loves practice, he loves to compete, and he loves to play and work, and we continue to try to push him in terms of expanding his versatility.Neither Beckham nor Sullivan is worried about Cruzs latest injury. He was limited to six games in 2014 by a knee injury and lost all of last year with the calf problem.I keep reminding him that his first game is Sept. 11, even though you have to get your feet wet in the preseason, Beckham said of Cruz. Again, I hate saying that, but its irrelevant. You could go for 200 yards and none of it is going to matter. You could go for zero yards and none of it is going to matter. All that matters is that youre prepared for Week 1.Beckham is ready now.Game notesPK Josh Brown kicked roughly a 63-yard field goal in the rain in practice. ...
