Leus du Plooy scored an unbeaten 98, leading Middlesex to 279-5 on the first day against Gloucestershire at Lord's.
Leus Du Plooy haunted his former county Derbyshire as his second hundred of the season led Middlesex to a slender first-innings lead on day two at Lord's. The Middlesex skipper, who spent five years with Derbyshire prior to joining the Seaxes, produced a stoic four-and-a-half hour effort with only eight boundaries as the hosts reached 298 all out. Josh De Caires (46) and Joe Cracknell (43) provided the main support, the latter sharing a stand of 80 for the sixth wicket with Du Plooy.
