Nottinghamshire have got over the line, they've certainly not had things easy today.

Worcestershire were superb this morning, getting Notts in all sorts of difficulties by lunch.

A fifth win of the season for Notts and they still cherish hopes of being able to pip Surrey and get their first County Championship title since 2010.

Tom Haines wafts outside off stump, facing Kyle Abbott.

More frustration for Hampshire.

Doug Bracewell was off the field before lunch for treatment and is having a go at bowling a spell here.

His first ball doesn't look comfortable and is loose, cracked away through the covers by Matt Potts.

15 runs in arrears, but there are storm clouds gathering near Chelmsford.

Sussex 44-1 - target 278 to beat Hants

Close! Sean Hunt drives Keith Barker and the ball flies between first and second slip for four.

Another tough chance missed.

Ben Raine makes room to pull Simon Harmer through mid-wicket for his second four to bring up the Durham 100.

Matt Potts has 3* from nine balls at the other end and the deficit is down to 20.

Will the rain come to Durham's rescue, or can Essex pinch the final three wickets in short order?

Runs for Sean Hunt but there's only one of them in fact as he drives past Ali Orr on the leg side. Over.

He will face Keith Barker next ball.

Matt Taylor overpitches following five dot balls and Ian Holland bunts it down the ground for four runs to long-on. He is seven not out.

Matt Quinn's wonderful cameo is ended as Mitch Stanley has him caught behind by Matty Hurst for 42 from 38 balls, featuring nine fours.

Ekansh Singh has gone for a career-best 60 too, caught by Hurst off George Balderson with Ben Compton heading out at No10, but he only faces one ball as Stanley gets Michael Cohen to edge behind to Hurst for his sixth wicket of the innings.

Stanley records figures of 11-180 in the match.

Kent are bowled out for 293 for the second time in the match.

Their lead is 302 with 51 overs for Lancashire to think about having a chase.

Sussex 39-1 - target 278 to beat Hants

A couple of runs for Tom Haines off the Keith Barker over.

Kyle Abbott bowls the next over and gets Sean Hunt playing and missing outside his off peg.

Has he nicked it? Yes. But the ball falls just short of Hampshire keeper Ben Brown.

Tough chance but just about a chance.

It feels like Day Three really. No play yesterday.

We might not be out here for long given the patchy forecast so how does one pace this innings?

Tom Haines takes guard first and he will face Keith Barker on 13 not out.

Night watcher Sean Hunt is six not out.

They are back out in the middle at Grace Road and Ian Holland runs Ajeet Singh Dale's first delivery down to third man for a couple.

A single to backward square ends the over which was interrupted by a shower.

This game is ebbing away towards a draw - not helped by the threat of bad weather in the near future, as sunny as it remains now.

What a draw would do is set up a humdinger of a clash back at The Oval next week with Notts the visitors, potentially just a point apart at the top of the table.

Rob Yates has 11* with Alex Davies 29* after 17 overs.

Josh Tongue blocks Tom Taylor.

Runs! Off drive! Four! Notts have won!

Josh Tongue is a hero with bat and ball!

14 not out and 7-111!

Notts picks up their fifth win of the season and all eyes will no doubt be on Surrey to see if they can beat Warwickshire.

If they draw, the lead over Notts is down to a single point.

Notts take 19 points.

Worcestershire bowled heroically this morning and couldn't quite hold on this afternoon.

They take three points and move yet closer to relegation.

It's a cruel game.

Over to Tom Taylor.

Josh Tongue plays and misses. He tries to drive the next ball away but it trickles to mid off.

Driven. In the air but out of Taylor's reach. No run.

Ben Raine steers the first ball from Jamie Porter backward of point and it trickles all the way to the rope before flopping over gently.

Durham need seven more of those for parity.

Porter has 3-28.

One hit away though I doubt a six will be attempted.

Hit on the pad. Leg stump. Not out and a single.

Four to win.

Straighter from Khurram Shahzad. Josh Tongue defends.

The weather is behaving itself.

Bouncer. Tongue ducks under it.

Leg side, flicked behind square! Two! Five to win.

Lyndon James is back to Khurram Shazad to drive to the off side for one.

Seven to win.
