County Championship Division Two betting preview and tips

11am Sunday

Middlesex's One-Day Cup side made it to the tournament's playoff phase and their County Championship team chalked up their first Division Two win of the season over Worcestershire last time out.

Tim Murtagh was at his destructive best in that match with second-innings figures of 6-51 and the competition for places, strengthened by the upcoming return of Steven Finn, is getting the best out of their bowling attack.

Middlesex were 55-run victors against Sussex in the corresponding contest at Lord's last season. They can emulate that result against an outfit who bowled out Glamorgan for 186 in the first innings of their draw last week but allowed them to reach 466 runs in their second effort.

Northamptonshire are winless in their opening four Division Two, assignments, drawing three. They are 10-11 to buck the trend against visitors Glamorgan.

Recommendation
Middlesex
1pt 8-11 general
