Adam Lyth is on with his occasional spin (as in it only spins occasionally) but it looks worth a go with the Sussex pair, Daniel Hughes and Danial Ibrahim, looking well set.

There was a veritable blizzard of appeals going in from Yorks about three quarters of an hour ago but this Sussex pair are slowly sucking the energy from the hosts.

Four overs to go and Danial Ibrahim (42) and Daniel Hughes (54) are up to 85 for the fourth wicket and will be looking to shut out Dom Bess and co until the close.

A great day for Notts and their captain Haseeb Hameed.

He came back this morning 103 not out and turned it into his third double century and second of the season, eventually run out for 208.

Jack Haynes made 70 and Lyndon James 72 to give them a lead of 73.

Notts will now have a chance to force victory on the final day.

Northants spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has just blown the game wide open with two wickets in two balls.

The former India spinner removed Zak Chappell and Harry Came to leave the visitors 46-3 and still needing 127 runs to avoid an innings defeat.

Liam Patterson-White will hope to have a big role to play with the ball tomorrow.

But for now he needs to extend Notts' lead.

He's onto 41, coming down the track to whack Archie Vaughan over long-on for six.

Lancashire are making a better fight of things in their second innings.

Luke Wells has raced to 67 off 79 balls with nine fours and two sixes.

If they are still two down at the close, will they feel they have a chance of chasing this 473?

It's Abell's third catch of the day and a simple one.

It's just looked over the last few overs there was a concerted effort to try and rack up the runs a little bit.

Lyndon James has perished trying to do just that.

So with Surrey moving away from Notts at the top of the table, do the East Midlands county have a reply at Trent Bridge?

They've got a lead of 52 and if they can turn that into 170-80 before lunch tomorrow, there may be a chance to force victory against Somerset.

15 minutes remaining there with Lyndon James now 71.

A victory that's likely to move Surrey clear at the top of Division One with only three games remaining.

They lost the toss but ran through Durham on the first day for just 153 with Dan Worrall taking 4-31.

Dan Lawrence's 88 and 82 from Jordan Clark then helped Surrey to a 179-run first-innings lead despite Ben Raine's 5-72.

It proved a match-winning advantage as Sai Kishore also took 5-72 in Durham's second innings.

The hosts at least managed to battle to 344 to set 176 but Surrey found little trouble to knock it off.

Durham are bang out of form, losing three and drawing two of their last five games, and are now in a relegation scrap.

Surrey have really done themselves some favours at the top of the table, moving clear of Notts.

Durham haven't won since May and this threat of relegation is becoming a reality.

It's another game that doesn't go to four days for Durham.

Jordan Clark makes no mistake and drives his first ball through cover for the two runs to bring Surrey home.

They were held up by some resistance this morning but have made light work of a modest target this afternoon to wrap up a three-day victory.

The plan was to restart at 17:30 BST, but it's started raining again and so play has been abandoned.

A very frustrating third day with only 9.5 overs bowled before lunch.

Another boundary for Dan Lawrences off Matty Potts, this punched through cover, helps bring the target into single figures.

76 balls with five fours.

Nine overs, or 33 minutes, left at Trent Bridge.

It looks to me as if Durham have decided, that's it.

They've decided enough is enough with a couple of sixes in the over.

I don't think we will be needing the extra half hour, the runs have absolutely rattled around.

The skies have cleared enough at Chester-le-Street and Surrey have put their foot down.

Sam Curran drives Matty Potts beautifully past mid-off for four before Dan Lawrence pulls him for a second six over deep square.

Matt Parkinson drags one down and Curran cuts for four and then pulls another short ball over midwicket for six.
