Butcher blast in vain for Surrey

FRIENDS PROVIDENT TROPHY
Canterbury: Kent 337-3 (50 ovs) bt Surrey 320 (49.4 ovs) by 17 runs


A superb 139 from skipper Mark Butcher could not save Surrey from a 17-run loss in a feast of runs at Canterbury.

Kent amassed 337-3 from their 50 overs, with Martin van Jaarsveld and Darren Stevens scoring centuries in an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 216.

Van Jaarsveld hit 113 from 108 balls, while Stevens fired four sixes and 10 fours in his 119 from only 77.

Butcher smashed 16 fours and a six in his 121-ball innings, but Azhar Mahmood skittled his former side with 4-40.
