Compton out. 2 for 2 9n four overs. If Middlesex are going into a shell, this title is Yorkshire's . Their batsmen need to take the attack to Yorkshire as their batsmen/bowlers did to them. This is shameful Middlesex.

Warks have somewhat been forced into a declaration. Yes, you would think it won't cost them the draw, but clearly there is more chance of them losing now than there would have been if they'd carried on batting. But with the risk of us beating Durham, Warks have had to slightly gamble - too much of a chance that Lancs would block their way to a draw otherwise.
Ultimately though, you are still expecting Warks to win.

Is this guy Brooks going on a winter tour? Some reckon he is the best uncapped seam bowler in the county game. Who needed Bairstow when their lower order struck the Middlesex bowling attack to all parts of Lords. Yorkshire must have been possessed by el diablo after their crushing defeat to Somerset and also a great team spirit.
Pretty embarrassing display from Hants today. Firstly, they let Durham get 360 which was quite frankly inexcusable and then collapse to 108/6.
We've just got to get a 250+ lead somehow no matter how long it takes and then try and defend it
I'm not talking about 1 run an over obviously, i'm talking about not giving your wicket away...
Yep, fair enough but we need to be bowling the vast majority of the 96 overs tomorrow at least.
Still got 15 overs left today, including this one. Three an over is a lead of 230 at the close.
No point declaring at that stage. The game would be over comfortably before the end of tomorrow, either because Durham would have reached their target or we'd have bowled them out. Durham are hardly going to score so slowly that they bat out the day without scoring 230.
Needing a whole day (or more) to bowl Durham out is only important if we have a lead of 300 (or more). Which we won't have by the close today, not by a long way.

I think some of you are being a bit ott here, Hampshire had to go for it when they started their 2nd innings given the game situation, the loss of time due to rain this morning and what was happening elsewhere. Going for it also raises the risk of losing your wicket and it hasnt gone their way today unfortunately . The game is far from over though and we may still do it. Mind you they cant expect to escape by the skin of heir teeth every season !
When do they finish? They said the wicket was going to deteriorate so 250 lead might be enough
