Sachin Tendulkar's return from injury continued with 98 for Lashings against Middleton on Sunday.

Tendulkar, who had made big hundreds on his first two outings for Lashings, top scored as his side made 274 for 7 in 40 overs in front of a sell-out crowd who basked in the continuing heatwave at the seaside ground in West Sussex. Former Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu, who is playing for Pyrford in Surrey, made 70 while Rashid Latif chipped in with 41.

In reply, Middleton were dismissed for 182. Bruce Scott (41), who retired after sustaining a knee injury and was taken to hospital, was the highest run-getter for the side.
