Kent cricket club makes history today

Matt Davison sits in alongside Clare with the latest news, travel, and weather for Kent.

Kent cricket club will make history today, when they stage the first ever first-class match to be played under floodlights in England.

The game against Glamorgan will be played with a pink ball, to aid visibility until nine o'clock each night.

Some cricket traditionalists aren't happy, while others are glad they can see a game that would otherwise take place while they're at work (06:41.)

Ambulance crews in some parts of Kent are falling significantly short of national response targets. Crews aim to get to patients with the most serious injuries within the national target of 8 minutes.
But figures obtained by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Kent show that there are wide variations across the county.

For example, in Sevenoaks, crews are only getting to just over half of the most serious calls within the 8 minute time-frame. In Tonbridge and Malling it's two thirds (06:22, 07:22 and 08:22.)
