Stay there - we'll bring you a quick reminder of how they all finished shortly...

That's your lot from Trent Bridge.

Captains and umpires agree to call it quits and take the draw with eight and a half overs to bowl.

Nottinghamshire steer themselves to a draw after batting through the day.

Lyndon James finishes not out on a first-class career-best 79.

Both sides come away with 13 points from this Group 1 encounter.

10 overs to bowl now and 100 more needed to win for Notts. Easy maths there on the required rate.

But Durham yet to find a breakthrough with the new ball.

Lyndon James (78 not out) with a chance of finishing up with a maiden first-class century potentially.

17:49 BST 11 April 2021

Nottinghamshire (267 & 286-5) need 110 more runs to beat Durham (330 & 332-4 dec)

Will this be a key move?

Durham take a new ball after 80 overs of this Nottinghamshire second innings.

Chris Rushworth who bagged a couple of early ones is back on from the Radcliffe Road End for the visitors.

Right - 13 overs still to bowl in theory.

Notts need 110 more to win, Durham need five wickets.

But.....there's some nasty looking clouds on the horizon which could scupper either of those two scenarios.

So, just the one game still in action then at Trent Bridge after that dramatic win for Gloucestershire.

How much longer will this one between Nottinghamshire and Durham continue though?

That is the most convincing run chase you will ever see.

Gloucestershire captain Chris Dent finishes the game with a boundary off Jamie Overton to finish unbeaten on 91.

Graeme van Buuren is 110 not out off just 98 balls.

They got to their target of 228 in just 37.1 overs!

We're about to have a result in Bristol...

Gloucestershire 198-2 (target 228) v Surrey

Graeme van Buuren brings up a sensational century off just 94 balls.

The Gloucestershire man has hit 15 fours and a couple of sixes and is taking his side to victory in Bristol.

for Steven Mullaneypublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 11 April 2021

17:23 BST 11 April 2021

Nottinghamshire (267 & 256-4) need 140 more runs to beat Durham (330 & 332-4 dec)

Probably won't be long before they call this one quits at Trent Bridge, but Nottinghamshire skipper Stecven Mullaney has scored a half-century.

It's come off 81 balls with eight fours and six.

And play is under way again.

Gloucestershire need another 43 with 20 overs remaining.

The way Graeme van Buuren and Chris Dent have been going, run rate won't be a problem.

All over at Headingley as the players and umpires exchange fist bumps with 12 overs still to bowl.

Adam Lyth's unbeaten 115 steers Yorkshire to a draw despite Glamorgan's best efforts.

Yorkshire claim 11 points with the draw and Glamorgan come away with 14.

Good news Gloucestershire fans.

The rain shower has passed through, the sun is out, and they will look to get going against in 10 minutes.

Gloucestershire need another 43 off 20 overs.

With no prospect of getting back on after that earlier snow shower, and no real prospect of a result, the game is called off at Edgbaston.

A half-century for Nottinghamshire's Lyndon James at Trent Bridge as the hosts edge closer to securing the draw.

His very patient innings has seen him reach 50 off 106 balls with six fours.

Played very nicely indeed in the circumstances has the right-hander.
