The England and Wales Cricket Board's(ECB) Pitch Panel, Mike Denness and Alan Fordham, tonight rated the pitch at Southgate for Middlesex's PPP healthcare County Championship division two fixture against Somerset as 'poor.'

The Pitch Panel decided that there were no extenuating circumstances with respect to the preparation of the pitch and consequently Middlesex have been deducted eight Championship points.
