Promoted Kent gained their first top-flight win since 2010 although they were given a fright before beating Warwickshire at Edgbaston by eight wickets.
Wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose made 107 and Henry Brookes a career-best 84 in an eight-wicket stand of 145 before Warwickshire were dismissed for 280. Kent's target was 123 and Australian Matt Renshaw steered them home with an unbeaten 48.
Harry Podmore earlier took 5 for 62 and Kent bowling coach Allan Donald was delighted with his bowlers' perseverance. 'Taking 20 wickets on this pitch was a fantastic effort,' he said. 'I loved how the guys hunted as a pack. We have been relentless with the ball, bowled very well in partnerships and thoroughly earned the win. It's been a tremendous performance.'
