That's tea on the final day and it's gone very much as I predicted this morning.

There's been no flurry of wickets. Notts now have a lead and the overs are gradually disappearing on a track which has offered little to the bowlers for four days.

Joe Clarke has 92 and Kyle Verreynne 38. Their partnership is 80.

At 305-5, Notts lead Durham by 48 and only one wicket has fallen in the afternoon session.

Unless something incredible happens, it will be handshakes at 4.50pm.

Ben Slater enjoys playing Durham. He's just reached 50 for the second time in this game and now has nine half centuries against them, plus a double hundred.

The latest came in 69 balls and included 9x4s. He made 52 in the first innings and is on the same score now.

Two wickets have fallen today. Nightwatchman Rob Lord was caught by Ben McKinney at first slip on 15, off the bowling of James Minto.

Freddie McCann then survived two massive shouts for caught behind off Ben Raine. The bowler looked stunned when Peter Hartley refused to give either.

But Brydon Carse then bowled McCann for six anyway, so his luck didn't last for long.

Durham have one task today and that's taking nine wickets.

But taking wickets here has not been easy in the last few days. It's been a batsman's paradise.

The first innings aggregate was 1,071 runs, but having scored a record 664, Durham did end up with a first innings lead of 257.

So Notts have their work cut out to wipe out the deficit which stood at 190 at the start of play.

Yesterday was a truly miserable day. It was gloomy and very cold with a northerly hammering the ground. But the sun is out today and it feels like summer is here once again, which may aid the batsmen. We'll see.
