Nottinghamshire went into bat once more at 2.54pm and crammed the remainder of a gray afternoon with batting observe. Duckett adopted his 264-ball 218 with a six-ball seven when Hannon-Dalby trapped him lbw however Haseeb Hameed (41 no longer out, 69 balls) and Ben Slater loved an outside web for the remainder two hours because the fit fizzled out in a way redolent of Nottinghamshire’s seek advice from to Coventry in 1928 once they accrued 656 for 3, 4 of the highest 5 scoring centuries (handiest Arthur Carr neglected out with a paltry 58) however their victory hopes had been thwarted through a benign pitch, climate injury and stubborn batting through Warwickshire legends Tiger Smith and Bob Wyatt.
