Ryan Higgins shines with bat and ball as Middlesex take control

Middlesex found themselves in a difficult position after losing early wickets as Northamptonshire bowler Ben Sanderson tore through the top order, reducing the batting side to a precarious 32 for 4. However, allrounder Ryan Higgins mounted a rescue mission with both bat and ball to swing the momentum and put his team firmly in command of the match.
