Middlesex face a battle to save a draw after Division Two leaders Nottinghamshire continued to hold the upper hand in their top-of-the-table clash in the LV= Insurance County Championship.
Despite an impressive fightback from 106 for five, Middlesex were forced to follow on 175 runs behind after Nottinghamshire had dismissed them for 376.
James Pattinson finished with four for 65 and Dane Paterson three for 97 after John Simpson (92), Max Holden (86) and Luke Hollman (52) had mounted a gritty effort to keep their side in the game in response to Nottinghamshire’s 551 for eight declared.
Openers Mark Stoneman and Sam Robson then survived 20 overs to take Middlesex to 63 without loss at the close.
