Middlesex grind out first innings 300
Derbyshire finally bowled Middlesex out for 306 at
tea on the second day of their LV County Championship match at
the County Ground.
It took them exactly 100 overs in a low-key game in which the
wickets were evenly distributed and no-one shone with the
bat.
Ben Scott the first to go for 19, run out by an accurate throw
from deep midwicket by Graham Wagg to the wicketkeeper after
Scott had recklessly set off for a third run.
It was 201-5 when Dan Housego, on his first-class debut, had
his middle and off stumps knocked over by Jon Clare for 23 and
10 overs later, Gareth Berg top edged a pull at Wavell Hinds
and was caught by substitute fielder Jan Adendorff running
around from mid on.
Berg made 26 and the score was 226-6.
After lunch, Dawid Malan, who resumed his innings at the
fall of Housego's wicket after being sent to hospital for
an x-ray on his injured forearm, miscued a pull to Dan Birch at
mid off to give Hinds a second wicket.
Tim Murtagh was lbw to Ian Hunter for 20, Alan Richardson was
caught at second slip off Charl Langeveldt for two and Danny
Evans was finally last out for five, bowled by Wagg.
