Security arrangements are to be reviewed at Middlesex's Southgate ground after the Hampshire team coach was attacked with stones and valuables were stolen after yesterday's Twenty20 match.

Middlesex play the majority of their home ties at Lord's but use other grounds, including Southgate, throughout the season.

Yesterday's match was reduced to 12 overs per innings as a result of poor weather in a match the hosts Middlesex eventually won by five runs.

But the victory was marred for the home side when it transpired that valuables had been stolen from their dressing room.

Hampshire, meanwhile, had their coach pelted with stones as they left the ground.

Middlesex chief executive Vinny Codrington has now vowed to investigate ways of making the venue safer in the future, with Southgate due to host a four-day Championship match against Derbyshire from July 8, as well as five further days in September.

In this early hours of this morning the vandalism continued as hospitality tents and toilets were overturned.

"The most important thing at the moment is to review security at the ground and perhaps have 24-hour security," he said.

"But we also have to remember that this is a club ground, not a stadium, and these things will happen from time to time".
