Middlesex 141 for 5 (Morgan 43) beat Somerset 137 (Allenby 64, Roland-Jones 3-24) by five wicketsScorecard Eoin Morgan top scored with 43 as Middlesex boosted their hopes of a NatWest T20 Blast quarter-final place with a five-wicket win over Somerset at Taunton.The hosts were bowled out in 19.3 overs for a paltry 136 after winning the toss as their desperately disappointing group campaign yielded an eighth defeat. Jim Allenby top-scored with 64, while Tony Roland-Jones claimed three for 24.There were two wickets each for James Fuller, Harry Podmore and Nathan Sowter. Middlesex coasted to victory with five balls to spare as Morgan, Dawid Malan (24), George Bailey (21) and John Simpson (23 not out) led the way to the modest target.Somersets embarrassment was complete when a no-ball for not having enough fielders in the circle helped tilt the game towards Middlesex in the closing stages.Somersets innings was as grey as the weather. They were given a reasonable start by Allenby and Mahela Jayawardene, who took the score to 49 at the end of the six-over powerplay.Then Jayawardene was caught behind making room to cut Podmore and from that point the innings meandered, providing precious little excitement for home supporters in the crowd.Peter Trego departed to his first big hit, caught at long-off to give leg-spinner Sowter his first wicket and, although Allenby moved to a half-century off 38 balls, with 7 fours and a six, Somerset badly lost momentum.Johann Myburgh did his best to inject some urgency and hit the only other six of the innings before being caught attempting another. Tim Rouses first team debut ended on nine when he was bowled by Fuller.Roelof van der Merwe failed to clear the short boundary on the town side of the ground and fell to Roland-Jones, who followed up by dismissing Allenby and Lewis Gregory with the fifth and sixth balls of the same over.It was an all too familiar story for Somerset fans as only three batsman managed double figures.Under no pressure to score quickly, Middlesex openers Nick Gubbins and Dawid Malan still took 16 off the third over, bowled by Gregory.They had added 29 in 3.4 overs when Gregory took a sharp catch at mid-wicket off van der Merwe to dismiss Gubbins for 13.Middlesex then got bogged down themselves. Malan made room only to carelessly slash a catch to deep cover off Josh Davey, Somersets most impressive bowler.After ten overs the score was only 54 for two as Morgan and Bailey began watchfully. Morgan hit the first six of the innings off Max Waller in the 12th over.Bailey fell with the score on 91, caught at deep mid-wicket off Davey, but by then Morgan was starting to cut loose and he collected another maximum off van der Merwe in the 16th over as Middlesex closed in on victory.The England batsman was visibly frustrated over being caught at long-off in the 18th over to give Waller a wicket. And when James Franklin hit a Gregory full-toss straight to mid-off with nine needed from eight balls Middlesex hearts beat a little faster.But a no-ball awarded against Gregory for too many fielders outside the ring followed by a Ryan Higgins boundary quickly eased any nerves and a Simpson six off the first ball of the final over settled the outcome.Allenby said: What happened with the last ball of the 19th over was that we knew we were running short of time and needed to get into position quickly.I probably wasnt quite clear enough in the field we needed to set and it was all a bit of a rush. The no-ball was called because we only had three men inside the circle.Defending nine off the last over would have been tough, with John Simpson in form he has been showing, but there would have been a chance. As it turned out, the free hit went for four and the first ball of the last over for six, so we will never know what might have been.

Darren Lockyer has put a line through Canterburys as an NRL title threat, declaring the Bulldogs are not ruthless enough.In analysis sure to fire up coach Des Hasler and his troops, Lockyer said the Bulldogs had not been consistent enough to be considered premiership contenders.Despite being in top four contention after six wins from their past seven starts, Lockyer said Canterbury hadnt exhibited the kind of form that warranted them to be considered a threat to North Queensland, Melbourne, Cronulla and Canberra.I dont think theyre consistent enough, theres not enough discipline in their performance, Lockyer told the Nine Networks Sunday Footy Show.Theyre just in and out, in and out over the 80 minutes and youre not going to win premierships playing that style of football.The Bulldogs have looked shaky over the past three weeks, smashed 36-0 by the Cowboys and unconvincing in wins over struggling St George Illawarra and last-placed Newcastle.Lockyer questioned their inability to put away the Dragons and Knights earlier, saying they neededd to discover their killer instinct.ddddddddddddYouve got to be ruthless, Lockyer said.Theyve done well to get into the top four but if they dont get their discipline right, I cant see them going all the way.The Bulldogs begin their run home against Manly at ANZ Stadium on Thursday night before facing Brisbane (away), Cowboys (home) and South Sydney (home).Sydney Roosters great Brad Fittler described the Bulldogs as winning ugly and said they were getting home on the back of some individual brilliance, but warned they wouldnt be able to get away with that in September.You watch them sometimes and you just shake your head and you wonder how they keep winning, Fittler said.They beat the Dragons last week 13-10, they just found enough to beat them.But Ive got to say that with Sam Kasiano in their team, he can just do some wonderful things and theres enough quality there - Brett Morris back with his brother Josh.
