7:50pm All told, a pretty ugly innings barring the odd flashes of brilliance from Salt, Walter and Madsen. Weird to think there were only five wickets given the number of scuffs in the air that either evaded fielders or fell comfortably short of them.
"We talked about taking the innings as deep as possible," says Max Holden who managed 38 from 29." We've got runs on the board and, playing for Middlesex, [I know] it's good to defend here. Theres a little bit in the wicket but hopefully the likes of Farooqi for us can do well up top and we can squeeze them through the middle." Valkerie will be with you soon for the chase!
