Lyndon James collected three wickets before Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater shared an unbeaten second wicket stand of 63 as the final day of Nottinghamshire’s Vitality Championship clash against Warwickshire ended in a draw.
In reply to 400 all out, Warwickshire extended their first innings to 361, Jake Bethell posting a career best 93, before Nottinghamshire went in again.
The match had, though, been consigned to a likely draw after the hosts reached 251, and therefore avoided the follow-on.
It was a dreary conclusion to a match which delivered some excellence - Ben Duckett’s double-century and the seam bowling of Dillon Pennington – but was ultimately smothered by the loss of more than a day to rain.
After Warwickshire resumed on the final morning on 175/5 - 76 short of the follow on figure - Nottinghamshire needed to strike quickly but Bethell and Danny Briggs proved stubborn.
The pair added 85 in 23 overs to take their side to the requisite 251, before Briggs swatted Calvin Harrison to Freddie McCann at mid on.
Bethell’s classy and composed innings ended seven short of a deserved maiden century when he edged Olly Stone to give the former Warwickshire player his first wicket back on his old patch.
Bowling remained a tough assignment, though, and Michael Burgess (43) and Aamer Jamal (40) added 71 in 15 overs before the latter hammered a return catch to Lyndon James.
After Hasan Ali chipped James into the covers, Hannon-Dalby settled in with his customary aplomb before running out of partners when Burgess mowed to mid off.
Nottinghamshire’s second innings saw Duckett trapped lbw for seven, but Hameed (41) and Slater (26) remained resolute until time was called.
