Big test for Woakes

Middlesex 53 for 1 (10 overs) Hughes 40, Shah 0.

Carter got rid of Godleman for 12 with a great piece of bowling. The batsman kept edging across to try to flick the ball to leg and he tried it once too often and had his leg-stump flattened behind his pads.

The tenth over, from Woakes, contained four fours by Hughes who has played some outrageous baseball-type hits to leg and is looking, to say the least, dangerous.
