41.5 to IG Holland, gottim, Holland is dislodged! Some extra kick from back of a length for TRJ, and it takes the outside edge as the opener feels for it, well held at second slip. Breaks a 51-run stand for the third wicket. 128/3
Steven Finn	25.2	1	96	4	3.78	113	0	4
31.1 to TP Alsop, . 77/2 60.3 to LA Dawson, full and drifting on to leg stump, Dawson flicks aerially... and picks out midwicket! Finn strikes for the second time during this afternoon session, as another decent Hampshire partnership is broken. 191/5 106.4 to KJ Abbott, Finn does the job at last for Middlesex! Length ball, seaming back in past Abbott's forward punch, stumps akimbo. 313/9 110.2 to Mohammad Abbas, . 319/10
Martin Andersson	19	3	53	2	2.78	92	0	0
44.2 to JM Vince, flirty flash to one wide of off stump, and Vince has gone! He kicks the air in frustration, that's his career in a nutshell, really. Takes Andersson's medium-pace for a couple of breezy fours, then steers an innocuous delivery to slip. 143/4 73.2 to SA Northeast, Andersson gets another, short and wide does the trick! Northeast looks disappointed with himself, having battled hard to get this far... he was reaching for the cut, maybe stayed a bit low, and he feathered through to Simpson. 221/7
Nathan Sowter	10	1	25	1	2.50	43	0	0
61.6 to LD McManus, sticks out the front pad to leave, but the googly comes back and clips off stump! McManus is bowled shouldering arms, Sowter wheels away in delight. Hampshire's position looking a little stickier now. 196/6

62.6 to SA Northeast, splat! Big old mow from Northeast and he is comprehensively castled - off stump out of the ground! A fine knock, he's applauded from the field by his team-mates. Finn breaks the stand at 257. 259/3 64.3 to JM Vince, pinned in front, up goes the finger! Rapped him around ankle height, maybe a touch leg side but he was stuck on the crease, whipping across the line. Vince falls without scoring, heads off to be replaced by Liam Dawson. Two in two overs for Finn. 273/4

12.4 to MDE Holden, Two in two overs! Abbott at the other end, bringing one back into the left-hander as he shuffled across, and up goes the finger. 32/2 82.4 to TS Roland-Jones, Rapped on the boot and given straight away! Slipped in the yorker and Roland-Jones failed to get bat down in time, Abbott chips out the seventh with the new ball. 235/7 86.1 to NA Sowter, Abbott goes full, hits the front pad, and that's salmon and trout! Sowter looks a bit miffed, but I reckon that was hitting middle and leg. Hampshire one away from a comprehensive win here at the Ageas. 245/9
Mohammad Abbas	20	10	28	3	1.40	106	0	0
11.1 to SD Robson, There's the first for Hampshire, and for Abbas! Robson plays back and diverts the back down on to his stumps. Blow for Middlesex straight after lunch. 30/1 15.4 to SS Eskinazi, edged, low towards third slip, and snapped up! Eskinazi lingers, but the umpires seem happy that the ball carried to Weatherley. Abbas makes another breakthrough, again dragging his length down as the batsman advanced to find the outside edge. 33/3 83.3 to JA Simpson, Abbas has his ninth, steered to third slip via a crease-bound prod! Teasing angle and Simpson plays slightly the wrong line, Abbas and his protractor doing the business again. Hampshire two wickets away. 235/8
Liam Dawson	17	5	44	1	2.58	80	0	0
98.6 to ER Bamber, Dawson strikes, nicked behind and that's the mercy blow! Forcing shot from Bamber and the last-wicket rearguard ends at 36 from 12.5 overs. Hampshire cruise to victory inside the morning session here, and have two victories from two to start the season. 281/10
Brad Wheal	16	3	40	0	2.50	72	0	0
Mason Crane	18	1	73	0	4.05	72	0	0
Ian Holland	9	4	19	3	2.11	47	0	0
52.6 to NRT Gubbins, Holland strikes in his first over, Gubbins steering to slip! Brilliantly held by Dawson low down, and Gubbins has to go. He holds the defensive pose, then drags himself off, thumping his bat on his way. A decent knock, but Hampshire have the breakthrough they needed. 155/4 70.3 to RG White, golden arm Holland does it again! Angling in, a fiendish medium-dobber to White, still trying to get his feet moving first thing, and he is pinned on the back pad, I think. No delay in the finger going up, and White will depart, hopes of a maiden first-class hundred snuffed out. 208/5 72.1 to MK Andersson, short and wide, Andersson is tempted, but nicks a cut through! Third wicket in the match for Holland, to go with 200-plus runs, and Hampshire have knocked two big bricks out of the Middlesex wall inside 3.1 overs this morning. 219/6
