--> IE O'Brien reached 250 wickets in First-Class Matches when he dismissed NJ Dexter, his 1st wicket in the Middlesex first innings
BJM Scott was taken ill at the start of Day 3. Morgan kept wicket up to the 63rd over when David Nash arrived from a second team game.
Nash was injured before the start of play on Day 4 and so Dexter kept wicket until Simpson arrived to take over.
