Preview: 

After losing their first two games of the 2021 County Championship, Middlesex have made a good comeback. In their first game, they were defeated by Somerset by 4 wickets. Their performance in the second game was even worse, as Hampshire handed them a thumping defeat.

But the convincing win against Surrey in their last game will do their confidence a world of good. On the other hand, Somerset defeated Middlesex in their first game, but then went on to lose their next match against Gloucestershire. They are coming into this game on the back of a win against Leicestershire.
