The first shot on target took nearly half an hour to materialise when Clarets striker Nugent let a Wade Elliott pass roll across him before letting fly with a well-struck shot that was saved by Joe Hart.
Hendry, world champion in 1990, 1992-96 and 1999, was on a roll and a sloppy safety shot from Ding lethim in again as he knocked in a breathtaking 140 to equal Ronnie O'Sullivan's effort earlier in the week.
