Awsome Middx storm to win
By David Slater July 4 2004
81 from 56 from Owais Shah was enough to guide Middx to a wonderful 29 run win ayt Headingley in a rain affected match which saw the match reuced to 24 overs per side. Simon Cook took 16 for 2, both wickets in the last over to seal the win.

Middlesex began with a small wobble when Paul Weekes (15) was out but a stand of 96 between Hutton (41) and Shah inspired Middlesex to a total of 209 for 7 at the end of their allotted overs.

70 from Phil Jaques got the hosts off to a good start, despite the loss of Wood early on, but a slump saw them go from 102/2 to 180 all out. Simon Cook got the wickets of Silverwood and Dawson in the last over before with one ball left the hosts decided not to risk Hoggard who got injured after bowling 3 balls and accept a defeat which puts Middlesex 4 points clear at the top with a game in hand, which is Scotland at Richmond tomorrow.
