Forget that about Middlesex being out in the field for some time yet, Durham have bloody declared - no one declares these days!

Strange tactics from Durham. Can’t see Middlesex winning but they may pick up a good number of batting points and of course the eight for the draw. It looks like a slow wicket.
Sussex with Pujara still in have a chance to close in on the Notts total and remain in the game.
Derbyshire have had a very good day and will set Worcs a tough target. All in all not too bad. Could do with a Sussex win to keep both promotion places up for grabs.

I think Durham must believe they have to win this game to stand a chance of going up.

Can’t see Middlesex declaring early and risk missing out on batting bonus points and the points for the draw.
