    2
    Taylor to Robson
    hoisted out to the on-side, they rush for the first, they turn for the second... Middlesex finish with a draw, scores level!
    91.5
    2
    Taylor to Robson
    back of a length, swung hard to the leg side, bounces short of square leg, but the shy is wide and Robson dives back for two... three to win!
    91.4
    1
    Taylor to De Caires
    short, hooked off the visor, decent connection but fine leg is set back... just the single, and it's five off two...
    91.3
    1
    Taylor to Robson
    leg-sided, a big wipe, another bobble from the keeper, another bye. Middlesex can't lose, but they need six from three
    91.2
    2
    Taylor to Robson
    slower ball, in the blockhole, driven into space on the on-side, de Caires is quick out of the blocks and back for the second
    91.1
    1
    Taylor to De Caires
    full length, outside off, huge heave from de Caires, but a toe-end down to long-on, set right back on the rope. 9 from 5...
    90.6
    1
    Sanderson to De Caires
    in the blockhole again, de Caires hacks through the line to mid-on. Just the single... Middlesex need 10 from the final over!
    90.5
    1
    Sanderson to Robson
    low full toss, into the pads, Robson clips with a flourish but only as far as midwicket. Just the single
    90.4
    0
    Sanderson to Robson
    blockhole ball, excellent delivery, cranking up that pressure once more...
    90.3
    0
    Sanderson to Robson
    wide line, bottom-edged on the cut, Robson wanted the single, gave up as the keeper lined up his shy, but the ball missed leg stump by an inch! Dead-eyed Carey he is not...
    90.2
    0
    Sanderson to Robson
    made room to leg, but can't connect in the channel outside off. That makes up for the bonus run
    90.1
    2
    Sanderson to Robson
    fires in the yorker, drilled to Zaib in the covers, who gathers well but his shy goes wide for overthrows!
    89.6
    2
    Taylor to De Caires
    de Caires duly winds through a huge mow to the leg side, they push the first run and scuttle back for the second.
    89.5
    1
    Taylor to Robson
    full toss, follows the batter down the leg side, flicks off the pads for another single
    89.4
    2
    Taylor to Robson
    back of a length, flicked off the pads, out to deep midwicket, Zaib's shy comes in at the keeper's end, could have been tight with a direct hit
    89.3
    1
    Taylor to De Caires
    fired in full, misses the stumps by a whisker as de Caires climbs into a wild hack. The keeper fumbles and they rush the bye
    89.2
    0
    Taylor to De Caires
    two dots balls in a row. Priceless at this stage...
    89.1
    0
    Taylor to De Caires
    sliding down the leg side again, all legit. No contact
    88.6
    1
    Sanderson to De Caires
    premeditated step, clipped up and over the bowler, bobbles down to long-on. 20 off three is the equation!
    88.5
    2
    Sanderson to De Caires
    steps to the off-side, clipped hard around the front pad, finds space at midwicket and the runs are coming nicely for Middlesex
