Middlesex collapsed to 134-7 in their County Championship game against Northants and look certain to concede a huge first-innings deficit.
Northants resumed day two on 310-6 and lost West Indies captain Jason Holder early for 40, but Luke Procter's unbeaten 81 took them to 445 all out.
Holder removed Middlesex openers Sam Robson and Nick Gubbins as wickets tumbled regularly at Wantage Road.
James Harris and Toby Roland-Jones were batting when bad light ended play.
Middlesex will start the third day 311 runs adrift and needing an unlikely 162 more to avoid the follow-on.
