Derbyshire's hopes of tightening their grip on their County Championship match against Surrey at Derby were frustrated by rain.
No play was possible on the second day after steady rain throughout the morning and afternoon left the umpires with no choice but to send the players home midway through the afternoon.
There was no prospect of any cricket following the downpours in Derby and with no sign of any improvement, Michael Gough and Trevor Jesty bowed to the inevitable at 3pm.
At least the forecast is better for the third day when Derbyshire will resume in a healthy position on 375 for 7, with a good chance of taking maximum batting points for the second game running.
