Scott Styris' very poor season with Middlesex appears to have been completely revived thanks to one day of his side's terrible thrashing at the hands of Lancashire. Styris took 6-71 in Lancashire's first innings of 505 (his first wickets of the season) and then scored 19 as his side crumbled to 161 all out. Things improved as Middlesex followed on though, with Styris blasting 133 off 129 balls to take his team to a respectable 426 all out. Lancashire will only need 77 more runs to win the match when the game resumes tonight (New Zealand time), but Scott can't be too disappointed in his first first-class match as Middlesex's temporary captain.
Meanwhile Stephen Fleming completed a good double for Nottinghamshire, scoring 63 not out in the second innings to go with his 51 in the first dig and Craig Spearman knocked up 35 and 36 for Gloucestershire.
