Durham need 91 to beat Notts
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleThere are 18 overs left in this game and Durham need 91 to beat Notts in the CLS sunshine.
I said this morning it would be very difficult to take nine wickets on this track but they have plugged away all day and got their rewards.
And the wickets have been shared about, with two each for Brydon Carse, Ben Raine, Codi Yusuf and George Drissell.
Notts were 305-6 at tea and needing to bat out, maybe another hour or so, without too many issues, but when Kyle Verreynne was out first ball after the break and Lyndon James followed a few minutes later they were soon in trouble.
Joe Clarke was the last man out for 119. But could there be more drama?
Ben McKinney has just been bowled first ball by Mohammad Abbas and Emilio Gay has also fallen in the first over for a duck with Durham 1-2.
