I suspect that even without the rain the result would have been the same. Any realistic hope of Durham taking the win points on this surface would have been in chasing a total on the final afternoon.
On a pitch which didn't offer a great deal to bowlers, bowling Derbyshire out was ambitious, as a plan.
You would have to say that Derbyshire acquitted themselves well against the team that is top of the table. There didn't appear that much between the sides and from that alone, considering the players that were missing, Derbyshire can take a lot of heart.
Yet the search for that first win goes on.
