    17.5 Abbott with the breakthrough for Hampshire, he draws Robson forward on an off-stump line and the batter nudges to second slip, where Liam Dawson takes a straightforward catch! 33/1

    65.1 great line and length from Abbas. For some reason, Gubbins decides not to play it but he gets a deflection onto his stumps and he's bowled! Gubbins adds just one to his lunch-time score of fifty before he's sent on his way. Hampshire will be looking to wrap up the innings quick-smart now. 153/8

    23.3 a fantastic ball from Kyle Abbott! Handscomb bowled first ball, one that angles in slightly to cut through his defences and take the top of off-stump. A poor start to the season continues for the Middlesex captain, who has made 31 runs from six innings so far. 52/3

    38.2 oh, pitching on off-stump, it angles in a little and strikes the knee-roll right in line with middle, gone! Abbott has a fourth wicket and Middlesex are in all sorts at 91 for 5, having resumed on 90 for 4 and in need of some stability. This won't help. 91/5

    10.1 wow! A fuller delivery, dead on middle stump, he gets a leading edge and Abbas takes a sensational catch diving forward on his follow through! That looks to have hurt a bit, Abbas wringing his right hand in pain but hopefully it's nothing more than a sting and worth it as that was magnificent work from him. 41/4
