- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR29.2 it's been hard grind for Glamorgan but finally they have the first wicket. Nipped back a fraction, down the slope, and nailed the off stump as Robson pressed forward 79/1206.4 Charges and gone! Higgins' maiden double century comes to an end. Carlson floats one across the right-hander from over the wicket. Higgins ends up yorking himself by advancing, leaving Cooke to gather and remove the bails with ease 645/9153.2 Return catch to Ingram! Full, flighted, dipping in line with middle and leg - De Caires tries to work through midwicket but breaks his wrists a fraction too early into the shot and gets a leading edge back to the bowler 471/6170.6 Snicked and gone! Wide tempter from around the wicket by the left-armer, Roland-Jones reaches for a drive but can only nick through to Cooke who takes a sharp tumbling catch to his right 518/7175.2 Smoked... but straight to midwicket! Full ball picked up well from off middle stump but straight to Douthwaite who holds on 531/8211.2 Middlesex's first innings finally comes to an end! Helm is back, cutting a length ball from Ingram but can only edge through to Cooke. Ingram celebrates with palms up to the sky, thanking a higher power for finally ending Glamorgan's time in the field 655/9Extras30 (b 6, lb 5, nb 18, w 1)TOTAL655 all out (211.2 Overs, RR: 3.09)Fall of wickets: 1-79 (Sam Robson, 29.2 ov), 2-199 (Mark Stoneman, 64.6 ov), 3-203 (Max Holden, 69.5 ov), 4-273 (Leus du Plooy, 87.1 ov), 5-426 (Jack Davies, 132.2 ov), 6-471 (Joshua De Caires, 153.2 ov), 7-518 (Toby Roland-Jones, 170.6 ov), 8-531 (Henry Brookes, 175.2 ov), 9-645 (Ryan Higgins, 206.4 ov), 10-655 (Tom Helm, 211.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Stunner! Bamber with a beauty from around the wicket, forcing the left-hander to play as the ball arrows into off stump, before nip off the seam claims the edge through to the keeper. You've got to feel for Zain-ul-Hassan - in a match overflowing with runs, he is 7 for 2 2/115.2 A first Middlesex wicket for du Plooy! Looped outside off, Root attempts to smash the cover off it and ends up slicing it firmly to first slip 28/2Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL31/2 (16 Overs, RR: 1.93)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Zain-ul-Hassan, 0.6 ov), 2-28 (Billy Root, 15.2 ov)
