Result: Middlesex Panthers pick up rare victory against Surrey

Steven Finn takes the wickets of three Surrey players to help Middlesex Panthers on their way to a 43-run victory at Lord's.

Middlesex Panthers have defeated Surrey by 43 runs at Lord's to claim just their fourth victory of the T20 Blast campaign.

Steven Finn starred for the hosts by taking three wickets, as they restricted their opponents to 142-9 in their run chase.

Things got off to a shaky start for Middlesex, as Nick Gubbins fell in the first over on the evening for just six runs at the Home of Cricket.

John Simpson top-scored for his side by reaching 53 before being caught by Zafar Ansari, while Dawid Malan was sent packing by Jade Dernbach for 23.

James Franklin (41) was the last man to fall, leaving Surrey with a target of 185 to close down.

The visiting side's reply was rather tame at times, with Finn claiming the wickets of Jason Roy (5), Ben Foakes (6) and Ansari (17).

Kumar Sangakkara piled on 32 runs for Surrey, but defeat was inevitable after the middle order struggled to make an impact, ensuring that their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals came to an end.
