THE PREDICTION
On paper this would normally look like being a routine win for Essex when considering they have not lost a County Championship fixture at Chelmsford since September 2018. However, the come into this contest severely weakened through the absence of star spin-bowler Simon Harmer, who is on international duty with South Africa. Kent meanwhile, have the batting line-up to cause Essex serious problems, as the likes of Daniel Bell-Drummond and Joe Denly are reliable run-scorers in county cricket. With Essex’s batting having shown cracks last season, including twice being bowled out for under 100, not to mention their history of starting slowly in the County Championship having not won their opening game since being promoted to Division One, a shrewd move here would be backing Kent to record a surprise victory.
