County Championship: Ryan Higgins ton helps Middlesex recover against Derbyshire

Both Mark Stoneman and Max Holden had uncomfortable moments but appeared to have survived the worst when the former, on 30, flicked at a delivery wide down the leg-side from Anuj Dal and was caught by wicketkeeper Brooke Guest flying to his right.

Holden was becalmed either side of lunch as the ball began to swing under increasing cloud cover and his patience ran out as he slashed a wide one from Daryn Dupavillon to Aneurin Donald at slip, departing for 36.

Leus Du Plooy, playing against his former county, and Higgins rallied before their 63-run stand for the fourth wicket ended when Thomson had Du Plooy caught behind for 57.

Thomson would also account for Nathan Fernandes before tea while Jack Davies fell to Chappell to leave the hosts six down.

However, an unusually subdued Higgins, who had been dropped on 33, found sufficient rhythm to move through the gears and, after losing Luke Hollman for 20, received fine support from Roland-Jones as they batted Middlesex towards the 350-run mark.
