Meanwhile, Masood’s fellow Pakistan star Shaheen Shah Afridi helped steer Middlesex closer to victory over Glamorgan on his debut.
Afridi dismissed Australian Test player Marnus Labuschagne for the second time in Cardiff to take his fourth wicket of the match.
He also hit a career best 29 as Middlesex made 336 in reply to Glamorgan’s 122 all out.
At stumps, the Welsh county were 104-6 in their second innings, still 110 runs behind.
