I'd have been very happy with that at the start. But as it happens, we've fallen someway short of what the top four had set us up for - all thanks to Fuller. 60 off the last 8.

Three wickets in an over and a half has probably clinched our first win of 2018.

Fuller can have a swing at everything. After his bowling, it might prove to be his day.

Looking like a solid strategy of Middlesex's, playing about 35 bowlers and three batters.

About time that one of our top four went on a made a match defining score.

Rather frustrating strategy of ours this season to bat at 100 miles an hour in the PP. Everything must go. Including our wickets.

Well we used a safety first strategy for the first over, this time. And then we went on to continue our everything must go strategy. Going at 10 an over is all well and good if you do it without losing wickets. But we're falling apart here. Again.

Looks like a middle range score for Hants.

Great SR for Munro.

Ludicrous decision from RTD to give that final over to Quinn. But for us, thank god he did.

Well done Sam.

looks as though you did well to get 170. You looked a long way off getting anywhere near that when the 4th wicket went down

Which just goes to show what you do later in the innings (t20 or 50 over). We don't need to be so reckless in the PP, trying to smash everything to the boundary.

We wasted about 10 overs in the middle, trying to recover from those early wickets.

Nah, Wheater is just class.

And Fidel is just enormously expensive. Pace in t20 doesn't work!!!
