Middlesex vs Somerset, at Uxbridge, Jul 07 2014 - Points Table

Nick Compton responded well to the threat of Steve Finn on a lively Uxbridge track but Somerset predictably found another cagey Middlesex declaration beyond serious consideration

Last week, Chris Rogers rejected the chance to tempt Northants with a target on the final day. Whether he is in more enterprising mood on day four here will go a long way towards determining Middlesex's title prospects

A year ago, Nick Compton and Steven Finn would not have envisaged spending these four days at Uxbridge. They would have anticipated playing against India at Trent Bridge tomorrow.
