Bedingham injured in the fieldpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 562-4 v Durham
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
The umpires called tea a few minutes early after Durham's David Bedingham suffered an injury at short mid-wicket. He dived to his left to stop a single. It was a good piece of fielding, but he didn't get up.
The physios were soon on the field and led him back to the dressing room. They seemed to be protecting his left wrist and arm as they walked off.
If he can't play any further part it will be a blow to the visitors because he's scored a boat load of runs on this ground in recent seasons and they are going to need a boat load to avoid defeat.
Notts' 562-4 is the highest innings by anybody against Durham this season, eclipsing Worcestershire's 550 in a draw in CLS in June. However it is also a very flat track and I would be surprised if either side were able to take 20 wickets on it.
Steven Mullaney will resume soon on 76 and Lyndon James 126. Their partnership is 124.
Rhodes on the acceleratorpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 262-4 v Hampshire
Warwickshire captain Will Rhodes goes four, six, four in successive Ian Holland deliveries to take the total beyond 250.
That is a second point for the Bears.
'Not part of the business'published at 15:44 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

News coming out of Sussex today concerns their coach Ian Salisbury.
He has been described as being 'not part of the business' by the club, having not taken charge of the first team since mid-August.
Salisbury, the red-ball and 50-over coach has been replaced in the meantime by T20 coach James Kirtley.
Tea at Headingleypublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 110-5
Jack Taylor sees off Matt Fisher's last ball and that is tea after another rollercoaster session.
The lead is 117 runs. Who are favourites now? It must be close to a 50-50 game.
15:45 BST inspection at New Roadpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Worcs 225 v Middx 111-2
They’ve had a decent dump of rain at Worcester but there’s a chance to get back out soon.
Tea at Old Traffordpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 512 v Surrey 96-4
Surrey trail by 416 runs with only six first innings wickets remaining. A position they have not been in all season.
Every run countspublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 103-5
We have reached the stage where every run seems vital.
Jack Taylor and Ollie Price have added 29 runs for the sixth wicket as Gloucestershire's lead edges to 110.
Given what is at stake, whatever target Yorkshire may have will feel a tricky one.
Tea at Trent Bridgepublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 562-4 v Durham
Do Notts need any more here?
Lyndon James takes tea 126 not out with the captain Steven Mullaney on 76 from just 65 balls.
One further demoralising half hour for Durham perhaps after tea?
Judging on things so far taking 20 wickets is going to be very hard work.
But Notts may only need a draw for the title.
for Chris Cookepublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Sussex v Glam 468-8
A second hundred of the summer for Glamorgan’s wicketkeeper.
136 balls and 11 fours to help his side to a large total and one they will hope has taken Sussex out of the game.
WICKET Amla c Jennings b Balderson 29published at 15:26 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 512 v Surrey 84-4
The delay at Old Trafford was not too long and Lancashire are back in the wickets.
George Balderson is having a strong finish to the season with bat and ball and he has a wicket to savour as South Africa batter Hashim Amla edges to second slip where Keaton Jennings pouches a flyer.
WICKET Hain c Donald b Fuller 44published at 15:19 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 214-4 v Hampshire
And now Sam Hain has gone!
James Fuller with an effort ball that gets a bit of extra bounce and he catches the edge of Hain's bat.
A problem for Warwickshire as both settled batters have departed in successive overs.
WICKET Yates b Holland 104published at 15:15 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 214-3 v Hampshire
We resume at Edgbaston and Rob Yates is bowled first ball.
He goes for 104 as he tried to start again. But a fine knock and he has at least given Warwickshire the chance to make a good first innings score.
Rain stops play at Canterburypublished at 15:13 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 265-3 v Somerset 202
The rain has arrived in the garden of England and there is a stoppage at Canterbury.
Three centuries in an inningspublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 534-4 v Durham
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
All Notts need from this game is a handful of points and they are promoted to Division One again. They were last there in 2019.
So they weren't going to produce a green top here and instead we have a road of a track. And they have recorded three centurions in an innings for the first time since 2007.
Lyndon James has three hundreds in his first-class career, all this year and two of them have come against Durham. He's followed his 108 in Chester-le-Street in April with 107 today.
Earlier in the innings Matthew Montgomery scored a career-best 178 and Haseeb Hameed 115.
This is the eighth time a side has scored three centuries in an innings against Durham. Notts last did it in 1993. (It's their 20th occasion too).
Notts will no doubt declare sometime this afternoon because I can't see any prospect of Durham bowling them out. They have already been in the field for 143 overs.
Steven Mullaney has 67 and he and James have added 96 in 90 balls.

Sussex v Glam 437-8
Another one for Sussex but the damage very much done now.
WICKET van Buuren c Lyth b Fisher 5published at 15:09 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 74-5
And Gloucestershire captain Graeme van Buuren has been and gone.
He hit one four off Dom Bess but Matt Fisher has his number as Adam Lyth takes a routine catch at second slip.
Chocks away?published at 15:08 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 534-4 v Durham
The flare may have gone up from the home dressing room at Trent Bridge because Notts are on the attack.
Steven Mullaney punches Liam Trevaskis over long-off for six before stepping across his stumps to whack Jonny Bushnell over long-on for another maximum.
The captain driving his side to a declaration?
WICKET Bracey c&b Bess 39published at 15:06 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 69-4
Dom Bess is having a purple patch for Yorkshire!
He now has a second wicket to go with his fine catch and this is all his own work as he takes a return catch off James Bracey.
That is the wicket the White Rose wanted. The lead is just 76.
Rain stops play at Edgbastonpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 214-2 v Hampshire
Would you believe it? Another stoppage!
First point on the boardpublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 211-2 v Hampshire
Sam Hain sends consecutive balls from Ian Holland to the boundary. Hain is now into the forties.
Warwickshire have picked up their first batting point. They have a possible 50 overs to secure four more.
