In Specsavers County Championship Division Two, midlands rain washed out day one between Leicestershire and high-flying Kent at Grace Road and allowed just 40 overs at Derby, where the hosts reached 111-3 against Worcestershire.

Luis Reece got the bulk of the runs for Derbyshire, ending the day 53 not out after seeing his opening partner Ben Slater bowled by Joe Leach in the first over. Captain Billy Godleman is the other not out batsman and will resume on 13.

Leaders Nottinghamshire escaped the bad weather by heading west, and their trip to Glamorgan brought a fourth first-class hundred for opener Jake Libby (109) and 21st for Riki Wessels (120) out of 335-6.

Libby's painstaking 213-ball century contained just nine boundaries as he and Wessels put on 123 for the fifth wicket - and then the latter raced to three figures with 15 fours from 119 deliveries.
