    5.1 Lyth goes! We've had a few big LBW shouts, but Roland-Jones - over the wicket from the Pavilion End - finally gets the umpire's finger out. The ball initially sets upon a path just outside off stump before tailing in and trapping Lyth after the left-hander presses forward after stepping across in his trigger. Oh Dukes, how we've missed you... 29/1
    11.1 Nip up the hill for TRJ does the trick again! Almost an identical delivery to Lyth, although this one is a touch wider. Bean thinks he has covered the line of the ball, but a late diversion off the pitch into him finds his inside edge and subsequently his stumps 64/2
    19.2 Middlesex rampant! A second high-calibre international wicket for Bamber - and the fourth time he has dismissed Shan Masood in the County Championship. Darts one into the pads, from around the wicket, trapping the left-hander in front. Bit of low bounce? That's certainly what Masood's reaction suggests. Maybe he was surprised by the movement up the hill? Either way, he's gone 87/5
    14.4 Not a bad first wicket of the season for Tom Helm... It's a lazy offering of the bat from Root. Helm decks one in, moving away late but the line is wide enough to leave alone or at least play without hard hands and a straight bat face. Good low catch by gully 75/3
    17.6 Bamber gets Brook! Movement in gets Brook playing, but the line holds after pitching and the right-hander's drive flies to wide second slip. Bamber wins the battle of the former England U19 teammates... 80/4

    30.4 A counter-attacking stand ends on 33 from 26 deliveries... Hill tries to work across the line but ends up over-estimating the bounce and his bowled middle stump. 131/8
    26.1 Higgins gets in on the act! Having missed out on Hill's wicket in his previous over - dropped by Du Plooy diving to his left at second slip - Higgins curves one into the front pad of Tattersall, who falls over down the hill and is all kinds of out, more or less walking off before the umpire raises his finger 98/6
    26.3 Two in three for Higgins! Another stone dead LBW, swinging into the left-hander who, fresh to the crease, doesn't move his feet and finds himself heading back 98/7
    34.2 Coad's valiant innings ends caught second slip. Attempts to find the boundary once more to the short side, towards midwicket, and ends up skewing an edge to second slip for Higgins' fourth 142/9

    3.5 Thompson with the first for the visitors! A ball after a perfectly judged leave outside off stump, Thompson aims for the top of off, over the wicket, and nails it. Bit of nip down the slope finds a sizeable gap between the left-hander's bat and pad 18/1
    8.6 Cracker! Edwards, around the wicket, bangs one into the surface that leaps and leaves the left-handed Holden, taking an edge along the way through to the keeper 37/2
