Latest news from Australia's opening tour match at Kent

Mitchell Marsh scored a century off 94 balls as Australia increased their lead past 500 on day three of their tour match against Kent at Canterbury.

Marsh smashed an unbeaten 101 before retiring while Shane Watson is on 78 not out as the Aussies moved to 282-3.

Chris Rogers made 45 while Michael Clarke hit 47 before both openers were dismissed by spinner Adam Riley in two overs.

Earlier, Kent were skittled out for 280 with the Aussies taking the remaining five wickets before lunch.

Ryan Harris took two wickets in two overs, dismissing Sam Billings for 24 and Adam Ball for an impressive 45.

Mitchell Marsh caught and bowled Mitchell Clandon and spinner Fawad Alam finished the job by taking the wicket of Iwan Thomas for 13.

Mitchell Johnson finished with figures of 4-56.

Billings, part of England's limited overs squad, looked in good nick yesterday but failed to add to his overnight score.

Before the start of play he told Sky Sports News HQ: "Australia are obviously a quality side.

"It's a good pitch, but they don't give you much to hit, as you'd expect from the top side in the world. It's a great challenge.

"Mitchell Johnson is certainly nippy, he gets it through. It's ultimately still a red ball though and you've got to play each ball at a time."
