Middlesex are set to give a debut to batsman Tom Lace after recalling him from a loan spell at Derbyshire.

The 20-year-old scored three half-centuries in two County Championship games for Derbyshire this season.

He is expected to play in Middlesex's four-day match against Leicestershire at Lord's, which starts on Tuesday.

Middlesex are without three top-order batsmen, with captain Dawid Malan injured and Eoin Morgan and Paul Stirling away on international duty.

After the Leicestershire game Lace is set to return to Derbyshire for the remainder of his season-long loan, starting with the home match against Glamorgan beginning on Sunday, 19 May.
