Minor Counties failed to take advantage of first use of a wicket offering the bowlers variable bounce and were bowled out for 130 in just 42.5 overs, thanks to some poor shot selection and fine pace bowling by Sri Lankan overseas player Mohamed Maharoof. Howitt (27) and Trower (39) showed some of their true form but there was only one decent partnership - 39 - between Trower and Mann.
Kidner got an early breakthrough, bowling the dangerous Alleyne for 1. Brown bowled an immaculate 10 overs of off-spin taking 1-18 and Dawson bowled 5 tight overs of seam, but the target was reached comfortably, giving Middlesex victory by 7 wickets with 11 overs to spare.
