Mohammad Abbas took a hat-trick in a devastating spell of pace bowling to put Hampshire on course for a comprehensive win against Middlesex.
The Pakistan international claimed 6-11 as Middlesex made just 79 in reply to Hampshire’s first innings 319.
The hosts elected not to enforce the follow-on but were pegged back to 2-2 early in their second innings.
But Sam Northeast (99 not out) and Ian Holland (90 not out) pushed them on to 204-2 by stumps, a lead of 444.
The day had started with Hampshire adding another 38 runs to their overnight 281-8 as Kyle Abbott ground out a dogged 58 in a ninth-wicket stand worth 61 with Brad Wheal (21).
