Whiteman gives Northants hope of win over Middlesex

LV=County Championship Division One, Northwood Higgins 64*, Stoneman 51; Keogh 3-53, Sanderson 3-76Sam Whiteman and Luke Procter shared Northamptonshire's highest partnership of the season to offer hope of forcing a crucial County Championship win against fellow strugglers Middlesex at Merchant Taylors' School.

With an overnight declaration likely and both sides - who occupy the relegation places in Division One - desperate for victory, it sets up an enthralling final day. The skipper registered his side's first boundary of the day, clipping opposite number Toby Roland-Jones neatly to the rope as both he and Whiteman proceeded to take advantage of wayward deliveries on the leg side.

But umpire Paul Pollard remained unmoved by Middlesex's impassioned appeal and the Australian continued to make steady progress as he brought up his half-century, pulling Ethan Bamber to the fence at square leg. Middlesex took the new ball at the earliest opportunity, reverting to an all-seam approach and they finally claimed the day's first wicket in the 63rd over when Procter cut uppishly at Helm and Josh de Caires, at deep third, judged the catch perfectly.
