Graham Clark has broken a record he set at Trent Bridge in April this year.
He and Colin Ackermann put on 145, which was Durham's highest sixth-wicket stand against Notts. Today he's put on 162 with Ollie Robinson for the sixth wicket.
Durham are 564-5 and lead by 157. There's only been one wicket today and that was this morning when Emilio Gay was out for 104.
Clark has 83 and Robinson 141.
Durham 498-5 - lead Notts by 91 runs

Ollie Robinson has joined Emiiio Gay in reaching 100 in this game. It's his 10th in First Class cricket. And the efforts of him and Gay have cancelled out Haseeb Hameed's double hundred for Notts on day one.
Robinson last made a century in the heat of Chelmsford last June. He also scored 171*, this week last year, at Blackpool.
But the knock at Essex was the start of a long run of low scores - until he made 76 at Hampshire two weeks ago. Prior to that he'd amassed just 201 runs in 16 championship innings, as the early season form of 2024 deserted him.
It's good to see him scoring well again though, although he was dropped earlier today on 35 by Joe Clarke, at first slip, off the bowling of Mohhamad Abbas.
However, this is a road of a track and there's nothing in it for the bowlers at all. Even if Durham build a big enough lead to allow them to declare, it is going to be very difficult to take 10 Notts wickets in the time left in the game.
Durham 372-4 v Notts

Ollie Robinson and Emilio Gay have added 94 runs so far for Durham's fifth wicket.
Robinson got to his half-century a little earlier but could have been out moments later. A short ball from Rob Lord seemed to hold up in the track and Robinson was through the shot too early.
It was heart-in-the-mouth stuff as the ball arched towards the covers, but thankfully for him it was just out of reach of Liam Patterson-White.
The deficit is now 35 runs and that should be wiped out well before lunch. Robinson has 56 and Gay 94.
Durham 320-4 trail Notts by 87

Despite the greenness of the wicket it's been a good one to bat on so far. Durham resume their first innings, on the third morning, 87 runs behind Notts' first innings total of 407.
Barring a batting collapse, you'd imagine they will edge in front some time before lunch and then look to build a decent lead.
Emilio Gay will resume on 74 and Ollie Robinson 25. Their partnership is worth 42.
It's a chilly morning in CLS. Really windy and cold, with that wind coming directly from the north. There's been a bit of rain about as well, but the sun is expected to make an appearance a little later.
Newcastle City Council will try to claim back some of the £3.7m costs incurred from the blast.

The umpires changed the ball after 60.3 overs, with Durham 204-2. I have lost count how many times a change of ball brings a wicket. Is it some kind of magic? I don't know, but I always menton it on air.
And two overs later things happened. Emilio Gay should have been out when he edged Lyndon James to Joe Clarke at first slip. He was on 30 but Clarke put the chance down.
Two balls later though spinner Liam Patterson-White found the edge of Alex Lees' bat and the Durham opener was caught behind on 82 to leave Durham 208-3.
They could have done with him hanging around for longer and the timing couldn't have been worse, just an over before tea.
England skipper training in CLS

Ben Stokes following his workout at Chester-le-Street
Spectators at The Riverside received an unexpected treat when the England Test skipper Ben Stokes came out to go through his paces during the lunch interval.
I have to say in all the years I have known him I don't think I have seen him as svelt as he looked today.
He's spent the last five months recovering from a hamstring injury which he picked up during the tour of New Zealand in the winter. It followed a similar injury in a Hundred game last summer.
Stokes did plenty of shuttle running in front of the media centre, before heading back into the dressing room. He's set to make his return in the Test against Zimbabwe next Thursday.
