    Alex Lees' innings has come to an end after 275 balls. He was bowled by Brett Hutton in the 88th over for 145, playing around a ball which hit middle and off.

    Lees put on 122 for the fourth wicket with Ashton Turner, who is playing in his first County Championship match and has 53.

    I don't think he was expected to play in this one originally but David Bedingham only got back from international duty with South Africa yesterday.

    Durham 265-3 v Notts - tea

    BBC Radio Newcastle

    After the heroics of Ben McKinney's debut century earlier in the day, things have slowed to a pedestrian pace in Chester-le-Street this afternoon

    McKinney faced 129 balls, crashing 17 fours and a six on his way to 121. He was eventually caught at mid-wicket by Haseeb Hameed, following a top edge off Notts' debutant spinner Freddie McCann.

    It ended an opening stand of 189 with Alex Lees, who in contrast has been extremely measured in his innings. At tea he has 86 from 191 balls - his last boundary was about 24 overs ago, but he is doing an important job for Durham.

    Since McKinney's wicket, Scott Borthwick has departed for 26 and Ollie Robinson for 13.

    19-year-old Ben McKinney has reached his first century in County Chanmpionship cricket in just his second appearance in the competition.

    He made 35 on his debut at Sussex last year. It was the beginning of the season. But he's had to wait until now to play in it again.

    He has hit some gorgeous shots today. He's timed the ball so well and brought up the hundred with a trademark cover drive for four.

    Having made his Lions debut last week, the former England Under-19 captain looks set for big things. At the other end Alex Lees has 63.

    Marc Guehi could still leave before deadline day next week

    Newcastle may be considering alternatives, potentially as a negotiating tactic, but their interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi remains alive.

    The 24-year-old is braced for a further approach from the Magpies after seeing four bids rising to £65m turned down.

    Guehi is ready to move this summer if the option becomes available, with two years remaining on his contract in south London.

    But Palace are reluctant to lose both centre-backs after agreeing a fee with Fulham to sell Joachim Andersen for around £30m.

    Palace's chairman Steve Parish had told BBC Sport, "I can’t imagine a situation where we would lose both of our centre-halves."

    But an increased fifth bid could be enough to finally convince Parish as he would be walking away from the best possible fee he could get for Guehi, with a sale next summer likely to be for less as his contract runs into its final year.

  20. 'Quite a week' for McKinneypublished at 12:39 British Summer Time 22 August

    What a lovely innings from Ben McKinney. He's reached his first Campionship 50, in his fifth first-class match.

    He's hit eight sumptuously-timed fours, most of them beautiful cover drives.

    It's been quite a week for the 19-year-old. He played in an England Lions win against Sri Lanka last week, having scored his first century in one-day cricket, just a few days before that.

    Alex Lees is 33 not out at the other end.
