Centurion Ryan Higgins reached 1,000 runs in the County Championship as Middlesex batted themselves to an almost certain draw against promotion rivals Yorkshire on day three at Headingley.
Higgins posted his fifth hundred of the Division Two campaign, in his 10th appearance, and was joined in posting a century by opener Sam Robson . Having been trapped lbw defending against Dom Bess, Robson then watched Higgins build on his good work and see his side to the verge of the 452 follow-on target late in the day.
Robson was trapped lbw playing forwards at Bess before Leus du Plooy and Higgins put on 57 for the fourth-wicket either side of lunch.
