Gareth Harte's maiden first-class century handed Durham a seemingly unlikely chance of a victory after a day three revival against Derbyshire.
After resuming on 155-6, Harte scored a patient 114, to take the hosts to 376 all out, a lead of 267.
Matt Salisbury, who made 25 with bat, reduced Derbyshire to 24-2 by removing Wayne Madsen and Billy Godleman.
Chris Rushworth snared Alex Hughes and Matt Critchley soon after, but the visitors battled to 69-4 at close.
Ben Slater (41) and Callum Brodrick (10) will resume on Tuesday with Derbyshire needing another 199 runs for victory.
In Durham's 376, Derbyshire conceded 81 extras, including 22 no-balls and 34 byes, the fourth-highest in County Championship history.
