India pacer Navdeep Saini returned with figures of three for 45 to put his county side Kent in a commanding position against Lancashire on the rain-affected first day.

On a day when only 34.2 overs were bowled, Saini registered figures of 3-45 in 11 overs as Lancashire reached 112 for 4 before play was abandoned due to rain on Monday. India all-rounder Washington Sundar (6 not out) was at the crease along with skipper Steven Croft (21 not out).

Saini’s scalps included that of openers Luke Wells (35) and Keaton Jennings and Rob Jones, who was trapped leg before by the Indian off the very first ball he faced. 

Saini, 29, took two wickets from the fifth and sixth balls of the 28th over but was denied a hat-trick by Croft.
