"Teenage tailender Sebastian Morgan narrowly missed out on a maiden career hundred as Middlesex racked up the joint fifth-highest total in their history against Gloucestershire in the County Championship at Lord's. Morgan, who turned 18 last month and is making his third first-class appearance, was out for 97 after sharing a partnership of 179 with his captain Leus du Plooy a county record for the eighth wicket against Gloucestershire to help Middlesex amass 634-9 declared."
"Singh Dale, stuck on four wickets since the previous afternoon in his farewell game for Gloucestershire, lost no more time in completing a five-for, with Joe Cracknell taken low at slip for 64 in the seamer's first over of the morning. He might have claimed a sixth victim soon afterwards when former team-mate Gohar swished outside off stump, but this time slip fielder Ollie Price could not cling on to the chance."

Gloucestershire reply reached 146-3, with Ben Charlesworth making 63 and Zafar Gohar taking two wickets. Graeme van Buuren removed Gohar, and a dropped chance by Ollie Price denied an earlier additional wicket. Gloucestershire trail Middlesex by 488 runs.
