Half-centuries from Sam Robson and Leus du Plooy push Middlesex in front against Northants on day two at Merchant Taylors’ School.
Half-centuries from Sam Robson and Leus du Plooy gave Middlesex the upper hand on the second day of their County Championship Division Two game against Northamptonshire at Merchant Taylors’ School.
Northamptonshire were dismissed for 207, with Roland-Jones taking a season’s best of 5-49 – and the visitors’ hopes of restricting Middlesex to a lower total were not helped as Prithvi Shaw shelled a trio of slip catches. Yuzvendra Chahal trapped Holden leg before for 25 before Sanderson took two wickets in as many deliveries, trapping Robson lbw to one that kept low and Stephen Eskinazi succumbing in identical fashion.
