Middlesex secure their first Championship win of the season, scoring 158-4 to beat Yorkshire by six wickets.
Leus Du Plooy and Ryan Higgins steered Middlesex to a six-wicket victory over County Championship Division Two favourites Yorkshire on an absorbing day three at Lord's.
Du Plooy fell eight short of 50 with victory in sight, but Higgins remained 33 not out when Stephen Eskinazi made the winning runs. The win marks a significant moment for the home side. Relegated from the top tier last year after gleaning only five batting bonus points - three of those in the final game of the season - they had surpassed that total in the first two games of this against a Kookaburra ball rendered impotent by placid surfaces.
