"Ali Orr's second century of the tournament guided Hampshire into the One-Day Cup semi-finals as they saw off Middlesex in their quarter-final at Radlett. The left-hander struck 108, batting through most of the innings to underpin Hampshire's recovery from 95-5 as they set their opponents a target of 230 with paceman Henry Brookes taking 4-53. Liam Dawson then stifled Middlesex's reply with his spell of 4-33, supported by fellow left-arm spinner Andrew Neal (1-30) as the hosts were bowled out for 187 in 45.3 overs."
"Sam Robson top-scored with 48 and Toby Roland-Jones' late unbeaten cameo of 39 prolonged the contest, but it was not enough to deny Hampshire a semi-final date on Sunday, when they will face Yorkshire at Scarborough. Middlesex made three changes to the side that had clinched a tense win at Lancashire to secure their knockout place, including returns for Roland-Jones and Ryan Higgins who both sent down tidy opening spells."
"Despite that, Orr and Nick Gubbins built a steady partnership of 45 until Brookes struck with his second delivery, tempting the Hampshire captain into a mistimed pull that sailed straight to midwicket. Fletcha Middleton was next to depart, caught behind nudging at a Brookes outswinger and the seamer soon grabbed his and Middlesex's third wicket when Ben Brown was pinned leg before."
