Match ka Haal
Middlesex ne toss jeeta aur pehle bowling ka faisla kiya kyunki Sophia Gardens ka pitch hara tha aur baarish ke baad thodi mushkil thi. Unki seam bowling, khas taur par Roland-Jones ke saath, ne shuru mein Glamorgan ko pareshan kiya. Glamorgan 52 for 3 par struggle kar raha tha jab Zain Ul Hassan (11), Asa Tribe (12), aur Marnus Labuschagne (23) jaldi out ho gaye. Roland-Jones ne 4 wickets liye (4 for 73).
Northeast aur Carlson ka Shandaar Khel
Dopahar mein Northeast aur Carlson ne 228 runs ki bari partnership ki. Northeast ne 122 runs banaye, jo sakoon se khele, jabke Carlson ne tez 109 runs banaye. Unhone 4 runs per over ke hisaab se score kiya. Carlson 96 par ek baar bache jab unka edge slip ke paas nahi pakda gaya. Dono ne apni centuries poori ki, aur Glamorgan 280 for 3 tak pohunch gaya.
Middlesex ki Wapsi
Naye ball ke saath Middlesex ne wapas control liya. Roland-Jones ne Carlson ko 81st over mein out kiya, aur phir Tom Bevan (3) ko bhi nikala. Ryan Higgins ne Northeast (122) aur Timm van der Gugten ko ek hi over mein out kiya (3 for 44). Glamorgan ne 39 runs mein 4 wickets kho diye aur din ke end par 334 for 7 par the.
