Australian seam bowler Stuart Clark made the key contribution for Middlesex on day two of their crucial Division One match against Warwickshire.

Clark took 5-61 and the Bears were in poor shape at Lord's until Dougie Brown hit a defiant 92 from number seven.

But Warwickshire were still all out for 272 to trail by 51 on first innings.

They were then put further under the cosh when Ben Hutton and Owais Shah took the hosts to 155-1 in the second innings, both men hitting fifties.
