MATCH CENTRE: Middlesex 2nd XI v Hampshire 2nd XI
Keep up with the action as Hampshire's 2nd XI take on Middlesex 2nd XI at Radlett in the Second XI Championship
James Vince’s side will be looking to continue their NatWest T20 Blast win streak as his stand-out career-best 99* helped Hampshire claim a thrilling six-wicket victory against Kent in their last fixture.
Last Friday’s match saw Hampshire record their third consecutive win in and they currently sit second in the South Group, with a game in hand over group-leaders Gloucestershire who are top of the table.
Hampshire Squad:
Fast-bowler Fidel Edwards is unavailable for the fixture and the remaining group-stage matches due to his CPL commitments, however Jackson Bird is included in the squad and is likely to play on Thursday.
The Opposition:
Having won two of their opening three fixtures, four consecutive losses, including a defeat at The Ageas Bowl in the reverse fixture, means Middlesex currently lie in eighth place in the South Group.
Former Hampshire pace-bowler Kyle Abbot is set to feature for the hosts against his former, but Middlesex will however be without skipper Eoin Morgan and fast-bowler Steven Finn who are both on international duty with England.

What The Team Say:
All-rounder Sean Ervine: ‘It's ridiculous how tight this group is. There's plenty to play for that's for sure. The next two games are massive for us – any sort of win, you try to take that momentum in to the next game but there are some strong teams in this group.’
