Luis Reece replies to Ryan Higgins' 163 with a ton of his own as Derbyshire fight back well against Middlesex at Lord's.
Derbyshire opener Luis Reece posted a maiden Lord's hundred to lead his side's steady response with the bat in their County Championship game Division Two against Middlesex.
Higgins, whose stand of 71 with Ethan Bamber set a county record for the last wicket in games against Derbyshire, has now overtaken Northamptonshire's Emilio Gay to become Division Two's leading run-scorer this season. Bamber compiled an unbeaten 21 and Higgins raised the tempo, lifting Sam Conners for three leg-side sixes.
Although leg-spinner Luke Hollman caused Madsen problems, he looked poised to emulate Reece's half-century until Brookes broke the partnership in the first over after tea.
