Gubbins did appear keen to accelerate proceedings, blazing four fours and a six in his breezy knock of 38 before he departed lbw, attempting to reverse-sweep Labuschagne (2-25).
Gubbins went for 91 when he drove a Charlie Morris delivery into the hands of Riki Wessels at backward point Steve Eskinazi (one) departed in the next over and James Harris went for 10.
He ended the day unbeaten on 107 with
Gubbins 72 not out (150 balls, 10 fours) as Middlesex closed on 195-2 an overall advantage of 260.
Gubbins' knock was his fourth half-century of the tournament - with three of those scores in the 90s - and lifted Middlesex to second place in the South Group.
Gubbins survived a huge LBW shout while both he and Eskinazi played and missed numerous times.
Sam Robson and
Gubbins dug in the early stages to see off the threat of the new ball.
But the Middlesex pair went for their shots and put together a century partnership that ended when
Gubbins (47) was unlucky to be given out lbw to a Patel delivery that appeared to be missing leg stump.
Gubbins concludes: "DAS' 5G hurdles put more pressure on distributed small-cell solutions to provide 5G.
