Middlesex manager Ian Taplin said: “We are very happy with our first day performance. The boys are very focused on repeating the achievement of the team two years ago.
“We have two boys playing this year, Mike Simpson and Arthur Ellis, whose brothers (Joe Simpson and Hugo Ellis) played in that team so there is a real determination to follow them.”
Eastern Counties and Leicestershire are also in the mix after collecting five points from a possible 6 to play Buckinghamshire and Lancashire in the last eight.
In the Development Festival, Bristol go into the second day with a 100 per cent record on the back of victories over Newcastle, Shoreditch Sharks, Liverpool and Nottingham City.
Manager Christian Godfrey said: “Tomorrow will be the big test and hopefully the lads will do the business. We started off very well against Newcastle and we knew Liverpool would be our strongest rivals so we were pleased to beat them.”
