However, Harris & Simpson steadied the innings, and by the time Middlesex's allocated 80 overs were up, the visitors had progressed onto 237/8, with both batsman still at the crease.
Ethan Bamber removed both Trescothick & Hildreth early on, with Somerset going in for Tea on 45/2.
However, a strong final session of the day for the hosts saw them close on 163/4, with Sowter and Walallawita taking the two wickets for Middlesex before the end of play.
