Hameed, who hit 14 fours in additional than 5 hours on the crease, had earlier shared 118 for the primary wicket with Ben Slater.
After turning the screw with three wickets in 10 balls on the finish of Saturday’s play, Warwickshire wanted 33 deliveries in the beginning of day three to prise out the 2 extra wickets wanted to finish Nottinghamshire’s first innings.
Michael Sales space eliminated Brett Hutton by way of first slip and would have added a five-for to his career-best with the bat had a leaping Alex Davies been in a position to take an opportunity supplied by Lyndon James on 34. The wicketkeeper made instant amends, although, as Josh Tongue succumbed to Chris Woakes’s first supply with the second new ball.
With the perfect a part of two days nonetheless to play, there was an argument for Warwickshire not imposing the follow-on however skipper Ed Barnard rejected that notion and despatched his bowlers out once more.
But that they had a protracted wait to see a lot success as Nottinghamshire met the problem with renewed resolve after being clearly second greatest all through the primary half of the competition.
Openers Hameed and Slater got here via 22 overs to lunch unscathed and a marathon center session of 34 overs noticed solely Slater depart the stage, the left-hander cursing a uncommon lapse in focus as he slapped Beau Webster straight to backward level.
Slater’s exit ushered in Duckett, keen so as to add to his first-innings 62 after a irritating season’s debut in opposition to Glamorgan two weeks in the past yielded scores of simply 25 and one. He took up the place he had left off, accumulating seven boundaries in reaching 40 at tea.
By then, after two and a half days of sunshine on a pitch that has held few demons at any stage, Warwickshire’s bowlers have been struggling to create possibilities. Jordan Thompson had been the one to command most respect, though moments of encouragement have been uncommon.
Duckett handed fifty for the second time within the match with a crisp reduce for 4 off Thompson and shortly lofted off-spinner Rob Yates over midwicket for his first six, earlier than Hameed celebrated his first century of the season, having confronted 215 balls and hit a dozen fours.
Dan Mousley’s off-spin changed that of Yates, virtually bringing a wicket when Hameed, on 105, survived a tough likelihood to Chris Woakes at mid-off.
But Mousley turned out to be the partnership-breaker as Duckett, whereas once more taking part in some high-class photographs, upset himself, chopping the spinner straight to Barnard at backward level with 100 seemingly in his grasp. His first innings had ended equally, with a considerably wasteful shot.
Warwickshire swiftly backed it up. Barnard bowled Hameed earlier than Sales space eliminated Jack Haynes for a duck. Had Kyle Verreynne been taken, moderately than missed, at second slip with the brand new ball, the guests will surely have had their tails up.
