After Sam Robson departed to the first ball of the match from Mohammad Abbas, Max Holden (41) and Nick Gubbins (75) led the Middlesex recovery at Lord's.
Tom Lace (51) chipped in before the hosts fell to 284-8 as Abbas (4-57) took two wickets in an over.
But Scott ended unbeaten on 52, with Tom Helm (17 not out) alongside him, as Middlesex closed on 325-8.
