Key Battle Anderson vs Compton (Compton’s 86* on Day 1) Akhter vs Madsen (Madsen’s form key for DERBY) Handscomb vs Northeast (both in-form captains) Roland-Jones vs Gay (Gay’s starts crucial for NORTHANTS)
Expected Outcome Draw likely if rain interrupts, else Kent slight edge Derbyshire favored to win by 3-5 wickets Leicestershire favored to win by 100+ runs or 6 wickets Draw most likely, Middlesex slight edge if batting 2nd
