POST-MATCH REACTION
Middlesex coach Richard Scott:
"I think we conceded a few too many, 140-150 would have been par.
"Having said that, Tom Maynard played a terrific innings and got them up to that total with some power hitting at the end.
"Generally I'm pleased, we competed as well as we could. I think all the lads gave it their all but we just came up short in the end."
