Rain thwarted Gloucestershire's hopes of securing their first County Championship win of the season against Leicestershire at Cheltenham.

The home side were well set at 265-3, but umpires Nigel Llong and Nick Cook called the game off at 4pm without a ball being bowled for the draw.

However, Division Two basement side Gloucestershire were docked two points from their 12 for a slow over rate.

Mid-table Leicestershire earned eight points for their endeavours.
