41.6 to MK Andersson, length ball on middle and off, it strikes the pad directly in front, he's out lbw and Abbas gets his reward. Andersson trudges back to the Pavilion having faced just one ball after the resumption from a 15-minute delay for bad light.. 100/6
43.2 to JAR Harris, slightly fuller ball, on off-stump, it beats Harris's defences and bowled for a duck! Abbas strikes twice in quick succession and Middlesex are really struggling here.. 100/7
65.1 to NRT Gubbins, great line and length from Abbas. For some reason, Gubbins decides not to play it but he gets a deflection onto his stumps and he's bowled! Gubbins adds just one to his lunch-time score of fifty before he's sent on his way. Hampshire will be looking to wrap up the innings quick-smart now.. 153/8
1333913.00595000
22.6 to JLB Davies, outside off, he's played at that with a straight bat and gets a thick edge, which carries to Liam Dawson, again at second slip, and Hampshire have another!. 47/2
18.164462.42887000
17.5 to SD Robson, Abbott with the breakthrough for Hampshire, he draws Robson forward on an off-stump line and the batter nudges to second slip, where Liam Dawson takes a straightforward catch!. 33/1
23.3 to PSP Handscomb, a fantastic ball from Kyle Abbott! Handscomb bowled first ball, one that angles in slightly to cut through his defences and take the top of off-stump. A poor start to the season continues for the Middlesex captain, who has made 31 runs from six innings so far.. 52/3
25.5 to RG White, wow! An even better delivery from Abbott, perfect line, length and speed, it beats everything as White presses forward and that sound he can hear is his off-stump being uprooted. 56/4
38.2 to JA Simpson, oh, pitching on off-stump, it angles in a little and strikes the knee-roll right in line with middle, gone! Abbott has a fourth wicket and Middlesex are in all sorts at 91 for 5, having resumed on 90 for 4 and in need of some stability. This won't help.. 91/5
66.4 to BC Cullen, length ball outside off, Cullen offers a prod and it sails through to first slip, where James Vince takes the catch. Abbott gets back in on the act for his five-fer!. 159/9
68.1 to ER Bamber, and there it is! Great ball from Abbott, pitching on middle stump, it strikes the pad low and directly in front. Middlesex are all out for 172 and Abbott finishes with 6 for 44.. 172/10

6.1 to TP Alsop, and Murtagh traps Alsop lbw! Two wickets in as many balls and Hampshire slump to 9 for 3!. 9/3
30.2 to LA Dawson, on a length and outside off moving away, that takes a bit of bounce and he gets bat on it only to see Robbie White take the catch leaping high and right a first slip!. 67/5
68.5 to BTJ Wheal, length ball, on off-stump he finds an edge and it's taken by the keeper! The ball just managed to carry to John Simpson, reaching forward and a little to his right.. 177/9
2055532.75968020
3.2 to IG Holland, a gem from Bamber! On a length, pitching just outside off and angling in, it crashes into off-stump! Holland falls for a duck and Hampshire are 2 for 1!. 2/1
5.6 to JJ Weatherley, pitching outside off and it looks like he's got an edge to third slip, where Martin Andersson takes the catch reaching across second. Weatherley stands with his hand on his hip for a moment, not happy.. 9/2
33.2 to LD McManus, lovely from Bamber, good length, on off-stump and angling in, it hits him bang in front, no question about that and Bamber has three wickets now!. 73/6
1315324.07607102
18.3 to SA Northeast, on a length and perfectly in line, that beats the inside edge and crashes into the front pad! That's plumb, Northeast is gone for 11 and Hampshire are struggling big-time in their reply.. 37/4
72.6 to KHD Barker, Ah, Barker threw his bat one too many times. He takes a big swing at a Harris short ball and picks out Peter Handscomb at mid-on!. 208/10
1453222.28683100
48.5 to JM Vince, slightly fuller ball, he tempts Vince into trying to drive, it nips back a touch and takes out off-stump! What a wicket for Cullen, who only turned 19 recently. He ends the Vince-Barker partnership on 54.. 127/7
60.4 to KJ Abbott, lovely bowling from the teenager, on a length and pitching on middle it angles away ever so slightly to crash into off-stump and Cullen has his second wicket with Hampshire still trailing by 29 runs. 143/8

4.3 to SD Robson, a length ball, pitching on off-stump and it raps him on the pad in line with off! Middlesex are one down while still trailing by 23.. 13/1
10.1 to RG White, wow! A fuller delivery, dead on middle stump, he gets a leading edge and Abbas takes a sensational catch diving forward on his follow through! That looks to have hurt a bit, Abbas wringing his right hand in pain but hopefully it's nothing more than a sting and worth it as that was magnificent work from him.. 41/4
28.6 to BC Cullen, good length, on off-stump and it strikes him on the back pad directly in line with off. Another wicket falls!. 97/9
9.524154.16458000
5.3 to JLB Davies, on a length, pitching outside off, Davies presses forward in defence and Abbott's found and outside edge! That's going through to Lewis McManus behind the stumps and the hosts lose another one!. 17/2
7.2 to NRT Gubbins, on a length, pitching on middle and off and he's caught down the leg side by McManus moving low to his right!. 26/3
11.5 to PSP Handscomb, back of a length and straight, it looks to have struck the back pad in line with middle stump, although it's quite high as the batsman is pinned back. It's given out though and Middlesex are in disarray at the moment.. 49/5
27.2 to JAR Harris, . 95/8
29.5 to ER Bamber, on a length and on target! That hits the pad right in front and Kyle Abbott has five wickets for the innings and 11 for the match!. 101/10
