The countdown has begun. With less than two weeks until the Test squad to face Sri Lanka is announced, England have more captains (three) than settled fast-bowling berths (two).
Tim Bresnan began his campaign to claim the third seamer’s slot, and in a tidy eight-over spell, showed he had lost none of his Ashes form.
The rest period granted to England’s bowlers has condensed their early season into a month-long shoot-out, with the Test venue Cardiff as its prize.
The competition is fierce: Chris Tremlett returned last week; Steven Finn has taken 16 wickets this season; Ajmal Shahzad, Chris Woakes and Graham Onions have all made sparkling starts.
Little wonder, then, that Bresnan was busting a slimmed-down gut to get back on the field. He was not scheduled to play his first game until Wednesday, but having travelled to Nottingham with the Yorkshire squad last week, he insisted on featuring on Sunday. He has spent his enforced break redoubling his training, taking on extra gym sessions. He may be leaner than ever, but he is also as hungry as ever for wickets.
“I wanted to have eight overs in competition, rather than going straight into a championship game and having to bowl three spells,” he said. “I enjoyed the break, but last week I wished I was out there. I’m not a very good watcher.”
Taking the new ball as Yorkshire defended 254, Bresnan bowled with the aggression and intelligence we have come to expect. He was a consistent threat, floating in slower yorkers, pinging down searing bouncers.
Bresnan’s first spell reaped the wicket of Robert Key, who top-edged a pull to short midwicket; his second that of Geraint Jones, whose off stump was wrenched out.
Initially, though, it was a former England seamer, Ryan Sidebottom, who stole the show, taking two wickets in two balls to break the back of Kent’s chase. After Sam Northeast had edged behind, Martin van Jaarsveld upper-cut a short ball to David Wainwright at third man. Alex Blake then tried to cut a wide long hop from Adil Rashid and nicked it. Rashid finished with three wickets — despite bowling pretty badly — as Kent subsided tamely.
The foundations for Yorkshire’s win were laid by captain Andrew Gale. He declared his intent by thrashing James Tredwell’s second ball over long on for six and reached his hundred in 105 balls.

Manchester United v Schalke: Dimitar Berbatov and Co were far from 'so-called second XI', says Ralf Rangnick
Manchester United v Schalke: Dimitar Berbatov and Co were far from 'so-called second XI', says Ralf Rangnick
Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to rest key players against Schalke may have represented a drop in standards to some, but Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick was not amongst them.

Two goals up from last week's first leg in Germany, Ferguson could afford to make eight changes from the side that lost at Arsenal on Sunday in order to keep his players fresh for the huge Premier League tussle with Chelsea on Sunday.
"If you look at their so-called second XI, Manchester United's quality stands out with Dimitar Berbatov, Anderson and their central defenders," Rangnick said.
"It shows that they are at an exceptional level.
"Most Bundesliga sides would be happy with that quality, possibly with the exception of Bayern Munich.
"It is difficult to predict the final. You see the quality of Barcelona. They have set the standard in Europe.
"But the final is at Wembley so that might give a slight advantage to United."
A slow start saw Schalke have the first half-chance of the night after only seven minutes, Jefferson Farfan sending a low shot fizzing just wide of the upright.
But once United settled into their rhythm, the writing was on the wall as Schalke's defence found themselves struggling to cope with the movement and speed of the home team's wide players, Valencia and Nani.
Rangnick added: "We have to admit we could have gone out in the quarter-final against Inter - (against United) we found out our level."
