Middlesex 350-8 (Robson 134, Holden 96 not, Palladino 4-66, Viljoen 2-74)
v Derbyshire
At 298-3, fifteen overs from the close, Middlesex were very much in the ascendancy and Derbyshire were looking down a barrel.
Yet by the close, the score had reached 350-8 and we were still very much in it, thanks to a superb spell of 4-3 in fifteen balls by who else? Tony Palladino. 49 wickets for the season now and another superb effort that kept us in the match.
Hardus Viljoen bowled quickly, but there was a little punishment for both he and Lockie Ferguson today. Palladino was his usual self, but Robson made a fine century, while Holden looks set to join him tomorrow, having benefited from a drop by Gary Wilson at slip earlier in his innings.
Hopefully we can wrap things up quickly tomorrow morning and then show similar application when it is our turn to bat.
More from me tomorrow.
