- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR31.4 third time lucky and this one looks plumb! Robson was zeroing in with every ball, tighter and tighter to off, and eventually this one gripped substantially and ripped back into the knee-roll, was it doing too much? Probably clipping leg at least. Slater trapped on the crease and falls for 49... now then 135/415.5 short, pulled hard to square leg, and Middlesex have their first breakthrough! Hameed holes out, and is that the incision that can change their flagging fortunes? 64/125.1 sharp work behind the stumps and Mullaney's brisk knock is done! He knelt into another swipe to deep midwicket, but the ball was a fraction wide of off, and he dragged his toe in the process. Off come the bails and another timely glimmer for Middlesex 106/230.2 Yadav strikes! Middlesex are going to have to do this all for themselves, and they've bagged a third! Tight line outside off, gripping on a good length and turning at pace, past the outside edge to flick the off bail! Tidy work, and another glimmer... 133/335.4 swept again, top-edged to deep midwicket! And now Middlesex believe! Picked up from outside off, and a simple take for Bamber, five metres inside the rope... drama! 151/536.2 nobbled on the back foot and Yadav strikes again! Feet going nowhere! Tight line outside off, sharp turn at pace once more, probably struck in line with off, right back on the stumps... Middlesex are taking command! 152/639.2 tossed up, dips, turns, bowled him! Robson is the cure all right! Another super piece of legspin, oodles of air, a touch of drift to open up Harrison's defences then plummeting and biting, to ping the top of off! Notts were 133 for 2 not so long ago! 157/751.4 flashes into the drive and edged to the keeper! Jeepers, it's back on! Robson finds some more dip and turn on a good length, Hutton was lured on the front foot but feathers the nick to Simpson, who grabs well, wide of off! Crumbs! 202/8Extras17 (b 4, lb 2, nb 6, w 5)TOTAL210/8 (55.2 Overs, RR: 3.79)Did not bat: D PatersonFall of wickets: 1-64 (Haseeb Hameed, 15.5 ov), 2-106 (Steven Mullaney, 25.1 ov), 3-133 (Joe Clarke, 30.2 ov), 4-135 (Ben Slater, 31.4 ov), 5-151 (Tom Moores, 35.4 ov), 6-152 (Lyndon James, 36.2 ov), 7-157 (Calvin Harrison, 39.2 ov), 8-202 (Brett Hutton, 51.4 ov)
