No play was possible on the final day of the County Championship game between Derbyshire and Northamptonshire because of rain.
The match at Derby was abandoned as a draw in early afternoon, with the home side waiting to resume their second innings on 202-3, a slender lead of nine runs.
Captain Wayne Madsen was left unbeaten on 62, his second half-century of the game, with Brooke Guest 12 not out.
Northamptonshire reached 500-8 before declaring on day three, thanks mainly to Luke Procter (150) and Saif Zaib (105), the latter’s second Championship century in successive innings, having made 116 against Lancashire in the previous round.
Derbyshire, who take 12 points, will be at home to Middlesex on Friday, while Northamptonshire – 16 points – do not play again until they start an away game against Leicestershire on 2 May.
