England paceman Ollie Robinson didn't take the field for Sussex today because of an ankle problem.

He's due to have a scan on Monday and it isn't great to see him using a crutch as support.

"Essex will feel they've got the upper hand here. Can they get six more wickets? Dramatic finish bubbling up at Trent Bridge."

"150 odd in 16 overs is still gettable. They are going to need a big over or two to get them going again."

Notts 67-3 - target 219

Round the wicket comes Bracewell to Lyndon James, with a well-stocked field on the leg side. Douglas Jardine-type tactics perhaps?

They almost pay off, with James flicking one down the leg side and Adam Rossington, diving behind the stumps, gets a glove to the ball but can't hold on.

Five fielders crowding around the bat as Simon Harmer wheels in again to Joe Clarke and, apart from a nicely-judged shot for four, another good over from Essex's point of view.

Clarke also nudges one towards the short leg fielder during that over - it looked as though the ball may have dropped just short.

Australia opener Marcus Harris carries his bat for 122 but Division Two leaders Durham still complete their fourth win of the season.

Doug Bracewell finally concedes a run after 10 dot balls, with Joe Clarke glancing him off his hip for an easy single.

That's it though, with Bracewell hurling in a bouncer at Lyndon James to complete the over.

Michael Neser's 123 steers Glamorgan to 737 all out to draw against Sussex after an epic effort to register their second-highest ever score.

Lyndon James lifts the shackles now, using his feet to Simon Harmer and steering him confidently for a welcome boundary at long-on.

James picks up three off the next delivery and Notts gain eight from the over. That's the kind of rate they need.

Following Durham's win over Gloucestershire and the draw between Sussex and Glamorgan, here's how the top of Division Two looks.

*also includes one no-result

Joe Clarke will know Notts' prospects largely depend on him at the moment, but he and his team can't get the scoreboard moving at the moment.

Doug Bracewell starts off with a tidy maiden to Clarke, who defends solidly.

Early scare for the new man, Lyndon James, as he plays back to Simon Harmer, but the leg before appeal is rejected this time.

Shane Snater's previous over was expensive but he responds with a maiden to Joe Clarke. Notts need 169 from 22.

Well, that's that. Marnus Labuschagne sends down a single over and Ali Orr takes a single, which is the sum total of Sussex's second innings before the players shake hands on a draw.

The result had looked inevitable for a while, with Glamorgan declining to declare and set up a fourth-innings run chase as they amassed the second highest first-class total in their history.

Michael Neser scored his maiden hundred for Glamorgan, following earlier tons by Labuschagne and Kiran Carlson.

Matthew Montgomery has obviously been studying partner Joe Clarke closely. He shuffles forward and puts Simon Harmer's first ball away for four.

That is less assured, though, as an inside edge past the stumps and keeper brings up the Essex 50.

Matthew Montgomery has his first boundary as he strokes Shane Snater to extra cover.

The next ball disappears in similar fashion for another four before Montgomery adds a single and will keep the strike.

Joe Clarke is playing positively. but without taking unnecessary risks.

He strokes Simon Harmer through the covers for four to keep the scoreboard moving and is 16 not out.

Shane Snater replaces Sam Cook, who has 2-14 from six overs.

He starts with a Cook-like maiden. Notts need 190 from 26.
