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.

Liam Dawson returns after an eight-year Test absence. He is recognised as the best all-round spinning option in the country and is a better cricketer now than in 2016.
