Justin Langer produced a captain's innings to hold Middlesex together in their National League Second Division promotion tussle at Edgbaston. The Australian left-hander struck a patient competition-best 93 which frustrated a nagging Warwickshire attack on a flat pitch.
Langer was at the crease after just one ball of the innings after Andrew Strauss went LBW to Graeme Welch and he batted until the 44th over before he was run out by a direct hit from midwicket when he was sent back by Ben Hutton.
He struck seven fours and faced 122 balls and shared two stands of substance with Mark Ramprakash and Irishman Ed Joyce.
Welch, who had taken only eight wickets in all cricket this season, increased his tally by a quarter in an accurate spell and Dougie Brown slowed Middlesex's progress when he bowled Simon Cook and Richard Johnson with sonsecutive balls.
