Middlesex score 613-9 declared, their second highest total at Lord's, as they draw with Sussex in County Championship Division Two.
Division Two promotion front-runners Middlesex and Sussex saw their County Championship match at Lord's peter out into a draw.
Nathan Fernandes missed out on a century by nine runs, while Jack Davies struck a career-best 68 and Henry Brookes registered his first half-century as a Middlesex player, with off-spinner Jack Carson taking 4-166. Any faint prospect of a positive outcome essentially disappeared in the third over of the morning, when Fernandes clipped Fynn Hudson-Prentice for two to steer Middlesex past the follow-on target of 405.
Having swept Carson over the short boundary for six, Davies overtook his previous best of 65, but added just three more before he was out in the off-spinner's next over to a ball that turned away from him and took the edge.
