SQUAD & PREVIEW | MIDDLESEX V GLOUCESTERSHIRE | VITALITY BLAST

Middlesex return to Vitality Blast action tomorrow when they welcome Gloucestershire to Merchant Taylors' School - the first of three out-ground matches in eight days.

Having tasted defeat in the first two matches against Surrey and Hampshire Hawks, the Seaxes will be looking to win their first encounter of the campaign.

Like Middlesex, Gloucestershire have lost two from two, losing to Kent and Glamorgan respectively. Chris Dent and Ben Charlesworth have both registered half-centuries for the Bristol outfit, whilst David Payne and Tom Smith have taken three-fors in the competition.

For Middlesex, South African, Pieter Malan, will be looking to continue his good form, having scored 80 off just 45 balls at the Ageas Bowl on Friday night.

Tomorrow will see Ryan Higgins take on Gloucestershire for the first time since returning to London late last summer. He'll be hoping that he can make an impact with both bat and ball. He shared a 68-run stand for the third wicket with Malan against Hampshire Hawks.

Richard Johnson's side will be hoping for a repeat result of last year's fixture, where Middlesex came out on top by 30 runs after posting their record team score in T20 cricket of 229/9 in 20 overs. Captain, Stephen Eskinazi, was the star of the show, blitzing 87 from just 37 balls.
