(Picture: Getty Images)Middlesex captain Tim Murtagh spoke of his “relief and elation” after the club secured a return to the top tier of the County Championship for the first time since 2017 - and admitted it was a “bonus” to get the job done yesterday without a ball being bowled.
Having secured a fifth batting point in dramatic fashion on day three of their match with Worcestershire, Middlesex needed only a draw to seal promotion behind Nottinghamshire.
