Notts 54-0 trail Durham by 324
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleHaseeb Hameed and Ben Slater have given Notts a good start here as they have moved to a 50 partnership inside 17 overs.
There's been little in the way of nervous moments so far either and it looks like it is a good batting track.
It is going to be a late finish after issues with the sprinklers delayed the start by 45 minutes this morning.
I called it Sprinklergate. A listener called in Watergate, but I don't think that's likely to catch on!

Durham 370-9 v Notts
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleIt's another lovely, sunny morning on the banks of The Trent, but it does feel a bit cooler compared to yesterday. We have a northerly breeze as well.
Paul Coughlin and Matthew Potts are the last pair in for Durham and as we head into day two they need another 30 runs to reach a fourth batting point, which would be nice from the visitor's point of view.
Both batsmen boast centuries in the County Championship so it could quite easily happen. If not they already appear to have a decent total, given the fact they were put in yesterday morning, but there is an extremely short boundary on the Bridgford Road side of the ground, which only measures 49 yards at one point.

BBC Radio NewcastleColin Ackermann has got a century on his 34th birthday.
He was bowled on 80 by Lyndon James, but the bail jumped off the stump and re-settled back into its groove!
It's his 27th in FC cricket and third for Durham.
It's the first in the County Championship this season as well. It came in 174 balls, 15x4 and 1x6.
He'll enjoy his birthday tea in a few minutes.

Notts v Durham 190-5
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleIt's Colin Ackermann's 34th birthday today. He's on 80. He's just been bowled by Lyndon James but the bails didn't fall off so he's still out there.
I think he should buy a lottery ticket as well.
There were plenty of celebrations from the Notts players but Ackermann stayed in his crease and eventually the penny dropped.
