This has all become rather dull. Notts have decided to try and block everything out now. 12 of the 16 overs before tea were maidens and so was the first after it.

Jack Haynes and Matthew Montgomery look like they could block out the rest of the day without too much trouble.

While Montgomery had a bit of a torrid time dealing with Bas De Leede a little earlier, none of the rest of the bowling in the last hour or so has looked at all menacing.

Haynes has 26 and Montgomery 12. Both have had big scores against Durham in the past and need to do a job for their team again today.

It's not good news for Durham with regards to fast bowler Neil Wagner. He fell awkwardly on the ball yesterday while fielding and has injured his shoulder.

I gather he's been for an MRI scan today but is not expected to bowl again in this game. Paul Coughlin is his replacement.

So without Wagner, where is this game heading? He took four wickets yesteday.

If Durham take two quick wickets ths morning they may well enforce the follow-on, but if Notts bat through the session that could well change things.

The weather forecast tomorrow is not the best either.

Mark Wood has a right thigh injury and will not feature on day four against Sri Lanka.

There's a bit of drizzle in Chester-le-Street and the main covers are on. Looks like some of that unreliable southern weather has accidentally moved north.

Hopefully, it's just a passing shower and we will get going soon. If Durham take two quick wickets this morning they may enforce the follow-on.

But it will be interesting to see how much of a part fast bowler Neil Wagner can play.

He took four wickets yesterday, but then fell heavily on his shoulder while fielding and headed off back to the dressing room.
