Rain brought an early end to the second day as visitors Derbyshire took control against Durham at Chester-le-Street.

Resuming on 175-8, Tony Palladino (32) and Alfie Gleadall (27 not out) helped Derbyshire to 205 all out in their first innings and a lead of 109.

Tom Latham hit 67 in Durham's second innings, but had no support apart from a stand of 55 with Graham Clark (22).

Duanne Olivier took 3-51, including New Zealand batsman Latham, to add to his five first-innings wickets.

He was ably supported by compatriot Hardus Viljoen whose two wickets saw him remove both opener Michael Jones and Matt Smith cheaply before the weather interrupted at tea.
