Middlesex fight back with bat and ball on day three at Gloucestershire to build a second-innings lead.
Centuries from Max Holden and Ryan Higgins dug Middlesex out of a hole on the third day of their County Championship Division Two match against Gloucestershire.
By the close, Middlesex had posted 262-3, Holden and Higgins sharing an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 183, and had a lead of 143, leaving all three results possible on the final day. Ben Charlesworth, batting with Ollie Price as runner because of an ankle injury, and Zaman Akhter had extended their seventh-wicket stand to 71 when the latter tried one drive too many and was bowled by Tom Helm.
Charlesworth skied to mid-off where Holden took a fine tumbling catch, Marchant de Lange swung in trademark fashion and went third ball, before Dom Goodman edged a catch to third slip to end the innings.
