The Blaze and Manchester Super Giants seamer
The end of day three then, and one that ebbed and flowed at Trent Bridge.
Surrey had a good start to the morning with Daniel Lawrence making a century (104) and Adam Thomas playing nicely for 46, however both fell to Josh Tongue.
Tongue added a further two wickets to his two yesterday, returning figures of 28 overs 4-89 – another impressive spell from the England seamer.
He also hit international team-mate Gus Atkinson twice on the helmet with two quick bouncers. It initially appeared that Atkinson was fine and he continued his innings. However he was later forced to retire hurt (concussion) after the umpires vigilantly signalled that he was showing unusual behaviour.
Reece Topley replaced him as concussion substitute.
In their second innings, Notts managed to put on 99 runs for the loss of only Haseeb Hameed, who fell to an excellent delivery off Sean Abbott which sent his off-stump out of the ground.
Left-handed duo Ben Slater and Ben Duckett then steadily built a partnership, which is currently unbeaten on 80. Both looked strong at the crease, and gave away no chances against the new ball.
In the final hour of the evening Slater took a liking to the left-arm seam of Topley, who went for 29 runs off his five overs at an economy of 5.80.
Heading into the final day, a day of dominant Notts batting performance could be on the cards; the most likely result a draw in this heavyweight clash.
That being said, when the skill level is so high within the both sides, anything could happen in the final day at Trent Bridge.
