Lancashire couldn’t resist the unstoppable Steve Finn after Ashes hopeful Haseeb Hameed had to retire hurt and then re-emerged at No 11 in a futile attempt at victory. Finn’s impressive performance led Middlesex to a 36-run victory over Lancashire at Lord’s.
Middlesex’s season had a dramatic ending for the second year in a row at Lord’s. This time, there was relief in the dressing room as Middlesex, thanks to Finn’s virtuoso bowling, secured a victory and moved out of the relegation zone. However, they still face a must-win showdown against Somerset.
Everything went right for Finn, who bowled with pace and control. His impressive figures of 8 for 79 marked his best performance in first-class cricket since 2010. It was an unforgettable achievement that came at a critical time for Middlesex, who were missing key players due to injuries.
While the game had several ups and downs, Finn’s remarkable performance stood out as the game changer for Middlesex. With a turning pitch awaiting them at Taunton, Middlesex faces a challenging road ahead.
