The high winds which prevented any play on day one of the Rothesay County Championship Division Two match at Derby blew Glamorgan closer to promotion but buffeted Derbyshire’s chances.

Although the outfield at the Central Co-op County Ground had recovered from Sunday’s heavy rain, there was a health and safety issue caused by the strong winds with gusts in excess of 50 mph.

The extreme conditions posed a potential threat to the groundstaff who would have struggled to safely remove the big sheets covering the square.

After five inspections and with no sign of the winds easing, the umpires abandoned play for the day at 3pm.

Glamorgan went into the match in the second promotion spot with a 27 point cushion over third placed Derbyshire knowing that anything other than a defeat will take them to the brink of Division One.

For Derbyshire, only a win will keep their hopes alive so they will be praying for better weather over the remaining three days.
