Notes
--> RA Veck (1) equalled his previous highest score of 14 in first-class matches
--> J Bayton made his debut in first-class matches

---

Kent had Stevens, White and Yalden as given men. The team also included Bayton (also Boyton or Boynton), assumed to be John although George is possible. He was not a Kent man but is known to have been associated with the Hambledon Club; it is possible that Kent arrived one short and he made up the numbers. The ground name has been modernised: in the 18th century it was 'Cheden'.
SB has the visitors as England but several newspapers confirm that it was Kent with three of Surrey.
