Middlesex Crushes Gloucestershire, Tops Division Two

0:00On April 6, Middlesex just smashed Gloucestershire by an innings at lords, kicking off their red ball season with a huge win, their first since. 2018, 18-year-old Seamer Sebastian Morgan, an England under 19 star, grabbed a career best 4 for 48 to break their resistance and spark the collapse. Earlier this week, Gloucestershire needed just 109 more runs to make Middlesex bad again, but they played it safe at first with Oli, Price and Miles Hammond digging in. Morgan changed everything, snaring two wickets and two balls, including Miles Hammond cop behind, and James Bracey leg before. Ryan Higgins piled on with 3 for 18, cleaning up the middle order and leaving Gloucestershire all out for 215 in there. Second dig, that mirrored Middlesex's last innings win over the same side at lords back in 2025. Gloucestershire's lower order fought back with a gritty 9th wicket stand of 30 for Matt Taylor and Will Williams, but Spinner Gohar sealed it.

1:02By bowling last man gay bill, this victory puts Middlesex top of division 2 early. They host Worcestershire at lords this Friday, while Gloucestershire head to Bristol to face Durham both squads looking to bounce back strong.
