Day Three

Morning: No play possible due to rain.

Afternoon: No play possible due to rain.

Evening: At 4.45pm the weather finally cleared up enough to allow the teams out, and despite some early attacking intent from Middlesex, Charlie Morris made the crucial breakthrough with Gubbins caught at backward point for 91. Josh Tongue struck the following over when Stevie Eskinazi edged behind for 1, and Morris followed up as James Harris departed the same way. It was Ed Barnard who claimed the prize wicket of Dawid Malan, caught at cover, but the damage had already been done, and at close of play the visitors were 287-6 declared, with a lead of 352.
