The Weaver's Tale

Middlesex 57 for 1 (26 overs). Godleman 25, Shah 16.

Trott has just bowled his first loose ball - his 50th. A fine spell from him, swinging the ball and bowling accurately and to a full length. A bit of Bob Massie (Shah edged streakily through the slips) and then, when a bouncer lodged in the grille of Godleman's helmet, a bit of Dennis Lillee too. Trott 9-2-20-1.

Tahir also bowling well and, for the second time in the match, without luck.

The injury crisis deepens. A member of the press has just been round to see the physio for treatment to an ankle injury. Ligament damage.
