Notts are 130 ahead but a couple of early wickets and there could be a queasy feeling developing in the home dressing room at Trent Bridge.

Joe Clarke and Kyle Verreynne are the not out batsmen, on 14 and 18 respectively.

James Middlebrook and Paul Pollard are the umpires and Ethan Bamber will bowl the first over for Warwickshire with what is still a pretty new ball.

So how is this one going to go?

It looks odds-on a draw at Sophia Gardens but can either of the teams conjure up something special from this situation?

Jonny Tattersall, as mentioned earlier, resumes 86 not out, with partner Ben Cox on 31.

Captain Kiran Carlson to bowl the first over. No slips.

Yorkshire batter Sam Whiteman said it felt "special" to score his first hundred on a day that Fin Bean also made a century and Joe Root fell for 96 as 1,000 runs were scored across the teams' first innings.

The hosts took a couple of Sussex wickets last night and will be targeting some early on this morning to increase their chances of turning a likely draw into a win.

“I felt good out there. Joe (Root) sort of got to 40 without you even realising. He’s super-impressive, and it probably shows why he’s going to pass Sachin’s Test record in a year or two’s time," said Whiteman.

“Look, you never know. It’s a pretty good wicket, but when there’s pressure on funny things happen in first-class cricket. A couple of quick ones in the morning and you never know where the day will end up.”

Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace said it had been a benefit for some of the club's young batters to watch Root in action, and added that the wickets they lost last night had added a little "excitement" to the game.

“One or two of our young batters who have aspirations to play international cricket got to watch Rooty close up, how he scores off good balls and punishes the bad ones," Farbrace said.

“So far, both teams will be delighted with the way they’ve played. There’s still a little bit in the pitch. The odd one’s kept low and there’s a bit of turn for the spinners."

Surrey’s Dan Lawrence feels a glut of early Essex wickets could pave the way for an exciting final-day finish against his former team-mates at The Oval.

Lawrence has played a key role with both bat and ball so far in the game, capturing three quick wickets to wrap up Essex’s first innings before hammering a century to earn the home side a 63-run lead.

However, the visitors’ tight and disciplined bowling ensured Surrey were unable to score quickly and Essex openers Dean Elgar and Paul Walter had to see off just nine overs on the third evening.

The pair shaved 19 off the deficit with little cause for alarm, but Lawrence said: “It feels like a pitch where you can get wickets in clusters.

“It’s all about us applying pressure and you never know. We could go bang-bang in the morning and set up quite an exciting day.”

Both of Surrey’s first two matches this season ended in draws, while Essex – who did win their opener against Hampshire – will be determined to avoid a third consecutive defeat after losses to Somerset and Warwickshire.

Warwickshire will be looking for early wickets on the final morning to increase the pressure on reigning champions Notts at Trent Bridge.

The home side lead by 130 after following on but are already four wickets down and Bears paceman Michael Booth says a couple of early breakthroughs could have them "stressing".

Booth dismissed Jack Haynes in Sunday's final session and said: "We still feel like we're in with a good chance of winning the game. It’s good to have lots of bowlers because everyone can get a bit of a rest.

“If we can get two out early, then I think they'll start to panic and we’ll be into the bowlers. That's kind of the plan. And hopefully it all goes to plan and we win the game.”

Jonny Tattersall will have a century in his sights when Leicestershire resume their high-scoring contest with Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens.

The former Yorkshire wicketkeeper was 86 not out overnight, but is aware they need to lift the tempo to have any hope of a first victory.

"It's tough scoring at times, obviously a slow pitch but I think we played really well and hopefully gave us a chance to put our foot on the accelerator and give us something to bowl at," he said.

The Foxes hope Jake Weatherald will not be required to bat again after retiring hurt on 104 with what Tattersall described as "a niggle".

Meanwhile, Weatherald's fellow Aussie Ryan Hadley is still coming to terms with the "docile" conditions and said: "Cricket is a bit different over here. It moves a bit slower and you've got to work hard for it sometimes."

Derbyshire have enough resilience in their line-up to force a draw and deny bottom side Gloucestershire their first win of the season, according to Zak Chappell.

Chappell’s lower-order prowess with the bat may well be vital later today at Derby, with the home side three wickets down in their second innings and still facing a 100-run deficit after being asked to follow on.

“If we lose this game, it will be us giving wickets away rather than being bowled out,” he predicted. “I think we are a good squad and last year we showed a lot of fight, so there are positives to take from that.

“You build resilience over time and past performances of doing it make you believe you can do it again, so there’s a lot of confidence in our dressing room that we can save this game.”

Gloucestershire, whose first three fixtures of the season yielded only three points, should take a minimum of 13 from this one with a draw but will be determined to convert their strong position into victory.

Seamers Gabe Bell and Craig Miles have a wicket apiece so far in Derbyshire’s second innings, while spinner Ed Middleton collected the prize scalp of home skipper Wayne Madsen for 35.

Durham need to avoid early damage with the new ball before they can think about chasing down their 336 target against Lancashire, according to England pace bowler Matthew Potts.

They will be wary of the impact Red Rose skipper Sir James Anderson is capable of having in any game.

"We know it’s a new ball pitch so we rocked up this morning with a good vibe trying to hit them with everything we had with that new ball. We probably ended up one wicket shy of going through them with the fantastic partnership with Coggers [Paul Coughlin] and Jonesy [Michael Jones]," said Potts, following the third day's play.

“We know tomorrow we’ve got a tough day ahead with that new ball. Once it gets soft we’ll be looking to chase it down.”

The forecast doesn't sound quite so rosy today.

"Variable cloud for most, and sunny in parts of the south. A few showers in the north-east throughout the day, and also in other parts of the eastern and southern England in the afternoon" - BBC Weather.

Let's hope that proves as wide of the mark as a ball from an off-balance seamer which fails to land on the cut strip.

Since Friday, we have seen 6,645 runs scored, including 12 centuries and 10 players dismissed in the 90s (not to mention Henry Brookes' 89 for Gloucestershire at Derby) - 155 of them by Ben Duckett who can now concentrate on other activities for a bit (see pic).

The trend was bucked at New Road, though, where Worcestershire wrapped up victory over Kent by an innings and two runs to earn themselves a day off - or maybe some extra net practice.

That means we have six games left for the final day of this round of County Championship matches.
