Jack Davies was scrambling, he gets there in a cloud of dust and gets off the mark with a fairly risky single.

Zak Chappell charges in to Ryan Higgins and Higgins turns a ball safely past short leg for one.

Jack Davies turns the ball to leg and he's off the mark to his 21st ball with a risky single, beating the return throw by a split second.

We're not quite at the mid-way point of this final day yet and Derbyshire have picked up four wickets so far.

We were saying earlier that Middlesex would need to bat until midway through the final session and that still looks to be the case.

Jack Morley is back into the attack with a slip and a short leg.

We have two fielders set deep for the slog-sweep and a horrid long hop is pulled well out of reach of both of them for four to deep square by Ryan Higgins.

Single off the next ball and Jack Davies gets a snorter that spits out of the foot marks and fizzes past the shoulder of the bat.

Zak Chappell is into his 10th over of the innings.

Derbyshire won't want to be chasing too many here.

it has been a remarkable turnaround with four wickets between 12.56pm and 2.30pm.

One more wicket and I might start to get excited...

Middlesex are five down, they lead by just 40 runs and there are still 56 overs remaining off this match.

Good turn, it pitches a good way outside off stump. It kind of rolled up the inside edge onto the pad.

Blair Tickner is into his 13th over of the innings and Ryan Higgins takes on a short ball, pulling to deep backward square for one.

An LBW shout v Ben Geddes is turned down as he's struck on the pad but that's a bit leg side. Might have got some bat on it too.

Alex Thomson adjusts his length and Geddes defends on the front foot.

Ben Geddes ducks under a not entirely unpredictable bouncer and now Blair Tickner is bowling round the wicket.

Poor Leus du Plooy, that's horrible. Onto the same toe. He knew it would have been coming too.

Nose and toes from Blair Tickner... went for the nose first and then he went for the toes and hit the spot.

Poor old Les du Plooy is hobbling again. He was struck on the foot, the same foot and he knew he was out.

He looks like a 200-year-old man as he heads off.

If it wasn't broken before, it might be now.

Jack Morley is over the wicket to Leus du Plooy, who turns the ball past two mid wicket fielders for one.

Ryan Higgins goes back and across to punch a ball to deep cover for one more to move to eight.

Single to Ryan Higgins to backward square.

Another short ball, from round the wicket is pulled to deep square by Du Plooy for one as the field is set deep.

This could be a short spell for Tickner, who is really bending his back into a diet of brisk bumpers, and he falls over in his follow through to end the over.
