2.3 to Hassan Azad, . 2/1 116.5 to HJ Swindells, cleaned up! Swindells prods forward and Bamber nips one in off the seam between bat and pad, sending middle stump flying out the ground... drama!. 355/5

109.2 to MS Harris, arm ball, Harris pokes at it, and he's caught behind! He thumps the pitch in frustration. Didn't turn at all after seeming to hit the rough, and Harris appeared to be playing for the spin. Big moment in the game, but Leicestershire are very close to victory already. 326/3 111.1 to LJ Hill, full, straight, hit on the pad and gone! Two in quick succession for Middlesex. Hill got down to sweep but couldn't get bat on ball, and was trapped in front by Walallawita. Hill departs... is that an opening?. 332/4
