The BBG team and friends spent a sunny evening at the Vitality Blast 20/20 match between Middlesex and Sussex Sharks.

A nail-biting finish saw Middlesex fall short when needing a six off the final ball chasing down an imposing 190 total set by Sussex in the first innings.

As a first foray into the world of cricket, for some, the sunlit, historic Lords Ground in Marylebone contrasted with thumping rock music and flame throwers greeting a four or six – a departure for the cricket purists but none the worse for that.
