Derbyshire v Middlesex

A look at the final day of Derbyshire v Middlesex in the county championship, a harsh but justified assessment of Derbyshire’s overseas seamer and a photo gallery,

End of the over, which reduces the overs remaining count to 15, and as suggested by me five overs ago or thereabouts the Derbyshire skipper tells the Middlesex batters that they have done enough and it is a draw.

16 overs to go, Middlesex 307-7, 150 ahead. The only question now is when hands will be shaken. Thompson to bowl what I suspect will be the last over of this match.

50 for Zadar Gohar. Middlesex 307-7, 150 to the good.

300 up for Middlesex, a lead of 143 overall, and one suspects that is soon as the overs remaining count ticks down to 15 there will be handshakes all round - in this form of cricket, with no fielding restrictions the Middlesex advantage is now enough to be proof against defeat.

Higgins gone for 56 to make it 295-7, a lead of 138 overall. Morley with the catch off the bowling of Alex Thomson.

Zak Chappell has just dropped the last chance of a result, reprieving Zafar Gohar (and it was a very easy chance).

Tea on day four. Middlesex are 243-6, 86 ahead overall. One over after the interval the new ball will be due. Middlesex still have a bit of batting to do before they are out of the woods.

@TheVoidTLMB The crazy few minutes in the run up to lunch when Holden chucked it away trying to reach three figures before the interval and Eskinazi suffered that crazy run out immediately afterwards slightly opened the door that Middlesex should have slammed shut, and this afternoon has been almost all Derbyshire.

Zak Chappell gets the wicket of Jack Davies with the aid of a catch by keeper Guest and it is 220-6, Middlesex 63 ahead overall.
