- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR27.5 Breakthrough for Bamber! Middlesex desperately needed that... Bamber gets one to seam away from Hameed, having enticed the opener into playing at a delivery just outside off stump. The edge is found and Eskinazi takes a tidy catch low at first slip 117/136.2 Oh my... Duckett punches a straight drive back to Roland-Jones, who sticks out his right hand to try and take a return catch. He can't hold on, but deflects the ball onto the stumps with Slater just out of his ground. Duckett, Roland-Jones and Slater are in disbelief 133/241.5 Bamber again! Quality bowling from the youngster, who is getting enough movement out there after a switch o the Pavilion End. Montgomery presses forward and gets snicked off to the keeper 151/342.5 Gone! A solid fightback from Middlesex gets better as Clarke tamely chips to cover for his second duck in five innings 152/461.5 Stand broken! A fine knock from Lyndon James comes to an end, as Andersson finds the right length and movement to get the right-hander forward before leaving him off the pitch. Fine edge through to the keeper and the 5th wicket stand comes to an end on 73 225/585.5 Trapped in front! Roland-Jones gets one to zip into Mullaney off the seam - and down the slope - to pin the Notts captain on the back pad. The new ball just about does the trick, breaking this partnership for 90 315/6Extras14 (b 2, lb 8, nb 4)TOTAL364 all out (99.3 Overs, RR: 3.65)Fall of wickets: 1-117 (Haseeb Hameed, 27.5 ov), 2-133 (Ben Slater, 36.2 ov), 3-151 (Matthew Montgomery, 41.5 ov), 4-152 (Joe Clarke, 42.5 ov), 5-225 (Lyndon James, 61.5 ov), 6-315 (Steven Mullaney, 85.5 ov), 7-336 (Liam Patterson-White, 92.2 ov), 8-344 (Brett Hutton, 94.2 ov), 9-364 (Ben Duckett, 99.2 ov), 10-364 (Dane Paterson, 99.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR45.5 Huge wicket! Certainly for Middlesex's hopes... Brett Hutton, who has bowled well without reward, gets one to move in late to the left-hander from around the wicket. Stoneman presses forward and gets struck in line with off stump. Middlesex have lost 3 for 37 this morning... 148/534.2 What a grab! Stuart Broad angles one into Eskinazi, who works the ball around the corner where Montgomery is lurking at leg slip and takes a sharp catch to his left 119/340.4 The field wins! Holden flicks to the Hameed, who is stationed in between two other leg side catchers at square leg and midwicket. A clear ploy to the left-handers, especially with the short boundary behind them. Smart as it was from Notts and Broad, Holden's fallen for the ploy hook, line and sinker... 133/451.4 Gone! With five people on the leg side for the hook, Simpson opts late to pull out of a hook around the corner. Alas, he doesn't do so adequately and feathers through to the keeper off the bottom glove 171/674.2 Oh no! A ball after reaching a 3rd half-century in 5 innings, Higgins cuts James into his stumps, knocking middle out of the ground! 241/966.4 Plumb! Broad, from around the wicket to the left-hander, strikes Hollman right on the toes and in front of all three 208/781.6 That's all she wrote! Bamber edges to first slip off Brett Hutton and Middlesex are all out. They have been able to pick up their first batting point of the season but still trail Notts by 90 runs going into the second innings... 274/9Extras32 (b 16, lb 9, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL274 all out (82 Overs, RR: 3.34)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Sam Robson, 17.3 ov), 2-111 (Pieter Malan, 30.1 ov), 3-119 (Stephen Eskinazi, 34.2 ov), 4-133 (Max Holden, 40.4 ov), 5-148 (Mark Stoneman, 45.5 ov), 6-171 (John Simpson, 51.4 ov), 7-208 (Luke Hollman, 66.4 ov), 8-213 (Martin Andersson, 69.5 ov), 9-241 (Ryan Higgins, 74.2 ov), 10-274 (Ethan Bamber, 81.6 ov)
