Worcestershire were well placed to hold out for a draw after the third day of a game hit by rain and bad light. They were 45 for 2 in reply to Middlesex's 327 for 7 declared. But an overnight declaration by the visitors and a Middlesex forfeiture produced a target of 283 which, although comfortable in terms of run rate, proved to be way beyond Worcestershire's scope. The end came midway through the afternoon session.
Worcestershire's openers never looked comfortable and Michael Klinger perished leg before in the ninth over to Tim Murtagh. The paceman struck again in his next over, Mitchell edging an away swinger to Dawid Malan at second slip. Their hopes rested squarely on the third-wicket pair, Vikram Solanki and Moeen Ali, and when they fell in successive overs, leaving the score on a precarious 35 for 4, Middlesex scented victory.
