    Durham 371-4 v Notts

    BBC Radio Newcastle

    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

    Martin Emmerson
    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.
