Leicestershire recorded their first victory of the County Championship season and inflicted a first defeat on Middlesex with a 123-win inside three days.
Instead they were bowled out for 342, the decisive phase coming in the half-hour after tea when Leus Du Plooy and Ryan Higgins were out in quick succession. Mike added 41 second-innings runs to his career-best 5-22 in the first innings, finishing with eight wickets in the match after his second-innings 3-88.
Middlesex openers Mark Stoneman and Sam Robson were then both out inside the first 11 overs, Robson edging behind off Mike for two and Stoneman making 30 before being caught at second slip when Green found some bounce and away movement.
