Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens was left to rue a dropped chance off Graham Wagg after Glamorgan\'s middle order took the match into its final day.
Stevens put down a simple chance at slip when Wagg was on 11. And the Glamorgan batsman, along with batting partner David Lloyd went on to enjoy a sixth-wicket stand of 215, which brought Glamorgan back into the game. Kent now require 187 to clinch victory on Day Four.
Stevens, who came back strongly to run through the Glamorgan tail and finish with figures of 4/7 – including the wicket of Wagg for 107 – admitted it was disappointing to miss the chance.
He said yesterday: "We saw this morning that we had little or no luck with the new ball, so if we can get through the first hour with no damage then the win should be well within our capabilities – and it'd be even better if I didn't have to bat.
"I tried to stay away from Waggy for a couple overs after I'd dropped him at slip on 11, and it was a disappointing drop, but he and Lloydy played well and it was just one of those things.
"I did have a word when I finally got Waggy out mind and reminded him I've got him out on his last three visits here."
Stevens was also quick to praise the pitch at the Spitfire Ground, which has so far yielded 30 wickets and more than 1,000 runs in a fascinating encounter.
He added: "I have to say its a belting pitch, the best here since 2005. There's a bit in for the bowlers but if they miss their areas they get hit for four, so all credit to Simon Williamson the groundsman."
