Leach finishes with extremely tidy figures of 11.4-3-18-3 and Somerset need 285 to win. Somerset have fought back well this morning but Middlesex will be incredibly frustrated to be in this position, having lost their last six wickets for just 16 runs. Davey and Leach have done most of the damage, in admittedly tough batting conditions, and that will be lunch. No rain yet but the forecast looks ominous

Leach to Bamber, OUT, full, straight, whacked on the pad looking to slog-sweep, and that will be that!

Gregory to Murtagh, FOUR, back of a length, Murtagh clears the front dog and swings hard through midwicket. He won't die wondering

Gregory to Helm, OUT, edged and gone! Length ball, wide-ish outside off, Helm looks to play another back-foot punch away from his body but only manages a thick edge through to Davies. Middlesex's slide continues as the Lambeth Lara walks in at No. 11
