Andrew Strauss made his best score of the season against Glamorgan atLord's to lay the foundations for a return to the Test arena againstBangladesh next month.
Launching the Middlesex reply after Glamorgan had set them a 374-runtarget, the England skipper followed his first innings of 44 with anexhibition of mature strokeplay, stitched between long periods ofwatchful defence.
Strauss matched Dawid Malan shot for shot to score 69. But he wasnot pleased with his dismissal by former Middlesex man Jamie Dalrympleafter facing 132 balls in three hours because he played an ill-advisedslog sweep to a full-length ball.
Malan finished the day unbeaten on 94 as Middlesex reached 187 for four, still needing 188 to win.
