There's never an easy catch, especially not under the night sky.
But you just have to feel Middlesex have to take every chance from here to stay in this.
Nash on 31
It is not getting better for Middlesex, Steven Finn has just jirbled Nash. The tall fast bowler got to it easily enough but it just slipped out of his grasp like the proverbial bar of soap in the shower. Inexplicable.

Middlesex just look utterly shell-shocked by this.
Their brains are absolutely scrambled and they don't know where to go...
Nash 31, Hales 34
Hopefully we can clip up this shot because it's a beauty, Hales holding the pose for the cameras and it has been measured at 82 metres. Perfect balance and Roland-Jones is dispatched for six over his head, the fourth maximum of the innings. Nash swings another four, we've had seven of those already.

Chris Nash just has to keep going here and use the Powerplay with the fielders up to his advantage.
Another couple of big overs here for Notts and this game is done...
Target 161
Plenty of "hang time" on this one from Hales, lofting Mujeeb down the ground for six more, driving him delightfully between the fielders for four and demonstrating the high elbow again to record his third four and bring up the fifty. Super stuff. Mujeeb two overs 0-31.

Tom Helm has just bowled the same delivery three balls in a row.
He's not even changed the field or his pace and he's just angled into the legside which means Chris Nash has been able to set himself up each time.
Target 161
What a shot this is, right out of the screws from Nash and it sails into the leg side for six, a beautiful sweet sound off the bat and a one-bounce four to follow.

Tom Helm is the first change, he has taken 15 wickets in the event this year but he strays on to the pads and Nash flicks it away for four.

This is what Chris Nash has been picked in the side to do.
Take on the bowlers in the Powerplay and put them on the back foot.
Target 161
Toby Roland-Jones, who made that useful 26 with the bat, takes up the attack and he has a slip in place, as Nash chips one just over the head of the angular figure of Steven Finn at mid-on for two more.

Great start for Notts - Mujeeb bowls a lot of overs for Middlesex in the Powerplay and people don't really get after him.
Alex Hales has shown how they want to get on top from the start.
Target 161
And the first ball is smeared away into the leg-side boundary, before Alex Hales latches on to a short one and dispatches it many rows back into the Fox Road stand, then drives through the covers for four. Now that's a start.

I think it'll be a good run-chase, but I think Notts will have enough to get these....
It will be spin to start as Mujeeb bowls to former Sussex stalwart Chris Nash.
What a finish we saw last night, Ravi Bopara unleashing a flurry of sixes. Glenn Maxwell on the losing side for Lancashire then but he was in happier mood today after watching events from Old Trafford. Are we going to see a Bopara-style finale or do Middlesex have the bowlers to contain Notts? We shall see...

A magnificent double century for Steve Smith today then and they have managed to condense the highlights of the second day of the fourth Test from Old Trafford into two minutes and 39 seconds.
A reprieve for Morgan on 41, dropped by Alex Hales, but it was not as expensive as it might have been as the left-hander sliced to backward point for 53 from the final ball of the 18th over
Only 11 from nine balls today for the star overseas batsman AB De Villiers, two wickets in two balls for slow left-armer Imad Wasim.
