Beauty from Migael Pretorius, drawing Dan Worrall into a shot and getting bounce and seam movement away from the bat.

We've seen a bit of that from the Vauxhall End for much of the game.

Worrall drives the fourth ball straight but hasn't got the ball away.

Off the toe end rather than the sweet spot.

The sixth ball is leg side and tapped away for one.

Ian Holland has 3-25 from 16 overs but those figures could have been even better.

He's beaten the edge on numerous occasions and leaves Miles Hammond sucking his teeth after another play and miss to end his latest over.

The Foxes have found the edge a few times in the half-dozen overs at the end of yesterday and early this morning but have been unable to cling on in the slips.

Cam Bancroft has been put down twice but remains on 42* and his side are 87 ahead.

Notts 300 v Sussex 169 & 212-7 (lead by 81 runs)

Shouts of "Catch it" are redirected mid flight towards those in the stands after a swing and a top edge by John Simpson sails over the rope.

Sussex have added 17 to their overnight total and we have a change of bowling with Brett Hutton replacing Fergus O'Neill.

Dan Worrall is carefully forward to block Josh Davey down the ground.

There's a half shout for a leg side catch as Worrall misses an attempted swish to fine leg.

There was a noise but perhaps bat hitting pad? Not out anyway.

Worrall launches into a lofted off drive and he'll get one run to extra cover.

Blake Cullen gets a stroke of luck as Zak Chappell finds an edge which flies into the slips but deflects away off the hand of Caleb Jewell at first slip as he dives to his right.

Sharp chance but a chance nonetheless.

Dan Worrall runs a leg bye first ball and trades singles with Dan Lawrence to see out the Migael Pretorius over.

Worrall will be on strike to face Josh Davey.

You feel much of the damage has been done in this innings.

Sussex really need the lower order to get some runs here.

Notts have been much the better side.

Cam Bancroft has survived an early drop and a strong lbw shout in the opening 15 minutes of the morning, while Miles Hammond has taken a blow to the chest, in a similar way to the one which forced Ben Cox off yesterday afternoon.

Cox underwent a scan on his chest last night but was given the all-clear. He returned to produce a gritty half-century to haul his side to a batting point.

The lead is 83 but the Foxes are applying plenty of pressure.

Good ball from Josh Davey, getting Gus Atkinson playing down the wrong line with a missed flick to leg but he gets hold of the next ball, whipping it behind square on the leg side for four.

Planting the front foot, back foot in the air at the point of contact.

Didn't we used to call that the "flamingo" shot?

Notts 300 v Sussex 169 & 200-7 (lead by 69 runs)

Single for Jack Carson off the bowling of Fergus O'Neill brings up the first milestone of the morning, the Sussex pair scurrying 22 yards to extend the lead to 69 runs.

Migael Pretorius starts his second over of the day with a no ball and follows that up with a half volley, delightfully driven straight down the ground by Gus Atkinson for four.

That only just missed the timbers at the other end. 50 ahead now.

Pretorius adjusts his lengths and beats the batter outside off.

Atkinson survives and LBW shout, missing a glance to leg.

Too leg side.

Josh Davey will bowl the second over of the day.

Gus Atkinson drives and takes a single to the sweeper at deep extra cover.

Single to Dan Lawrence flicking a leg side ball behind square and Atkinson gets one more off the same shot.

Right hander Jack Carson is beaten on his outside edge by Josh Tongue who gets that one to leave him off the pitch.

Kyle Verreynne makes a polite inquiry behind the stumps which is equally politely turned down.

Gus Atkinson starts with a firm drive through extra cover.

It only brings a single but the intent is clear.

Dan Lawrence defends down the ground first up and then finds a gap, driving between cover and mid off for one.

Definite movement for Pretorius as he gets away movement and carry outside off stump.

Atkinson drives and misses. He connects to get one off the last ball.

Cam Bancroft (36*) and nightwatcher Dom Goodman (0*) begin their quest to turn the hosts lead of 78 into something significantly more imposing.

John Simpson takes strike as play gets under way on day three in bright sunshine at Trent Bridge.

Josh Tongue has the ball in hand at the Stuart Broad End.

The eighth wicket partnership with Jack Carson is worth 28, the lead is slender and Notts are heavy favourites.

Ryan Higgins (22*) and nightwatcher Blake Cullen (8*) are out in the middle.

Middlesex need 222 to avoid the follow on, with seven wickets in hand - possibly six if Leus du Plooy is unable to return due to a foot injury... though he might be able to bat with a runner.

Zak Chappell takes the opening over of the day in the sunshine at Derby.
