Phillips took the catch in 3rd over Middlesex's innings.
The incident occurred in the third over of the second innings when Middlesex was chasing a target of 172 runs. Opener Stephen Eskinazi tried to direct delivery by Matt Taylor to the boundary but Phillips had other plans.
The 24year-old Kiwi ran from the backward point and even had to dive in order to complete an absolute blinder that sent the Middlesex opener back to the pavilion with only 9 runs to his name.
