Notts 306-4
Simon Harmer is back on to bowl and there is a swing and a miss by Steven Mullaney.
We'll take a look upstairs at an attempted stumping, but no movement of the back foot there and he's safe.

Patel 95, Mullaney 74
Back on comes Ravi Bopara but Samit Patel has the answer with a cut for four past point.
He's into the 90s now and looking set to finish it off for his side.
Steven Mullaney nearly chips one to extra cover but just short of Paul Walter's hands.
Notts 289-4 (73 needed off 54 balls)published at 41 overs
Patel 89, Mullaney 72
Samit Patel gets another four as he pulls Ryan ten Doeschate away.
Essex look done for in this game after that decision went against them at the start of the over.

Ireland wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraHuge moment in this game. The Essex fans are not happy. Samit Patel lives to fight another day.
I thought clear as day that was out.

Notts 290-4 (Patel 82, Mullaney 71)
Not out is the decision after we go upstairs. Samit Patel continues and gets a single as a result.
Well....
Umpire reviewpublished at 40.1 overs
Notts 289-4
Well, we're going to have a bit of drama here.
Is Samit Patel out off Ryan ten Doeschate's bowling or not? Ravi Bopara dives forward at deep mid-wicket with two hands, but he's not sure he's taken it cleanly.
Notts 288-4 (82 needed off 60 balls)published at 40 overs
Patel 81, Mullaney 71
Easy pickings for Patel and Mullaney off the rest of that Paul Walter over.
Now just 82 needed off the last 10 overs. A doddle in modern-day terms.

'Essex have hands on hips'published at 19:56 British Summer Time 16 June 2017
Niall O'Brien
Ireland wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraI'm looking around the field and everyone has their hands on their hips, no one is seizing the momentum.
They're waiting in vain for another Nottinghamshire mistake to get a wicket.

How crucial could that be come the end?
