Neath: Glamorgan v Derbyshire - match abandoned
Glamorgan and Derbyshire suffered a washout in the One Day Cup Group A to dent qualification hopes after just two games played.
Persistent rainfall continued in Neath for Glamorgan's second visit to the outground this week after a 72-run defeat to Hampshire in the competition's opening fixture.
Both sides picked up their first points in their second scheduled game after Derbyshire also lost their opener, to Gloucestershire at Cheltenham.
With six matches still to play in the group stage, both counties already sit in a disadvantaged position in a quickfire race for the top three with other games in the group going ahead.
Defending champions Glamorgan head to the Kia Oval on Wednesday (August 13), meanwhile Derbyshire host local rivals Nottinghamshire on Sunday (August 10).

Notts Outlaws conjured up an astonishing comeback to grab a share of the points in a tie with Worcestershire Rapids in a dramatic One Day Cup encounter at Welbeck Cricket Club.
Chasing a target of 327 from 47 overs after centuries from Jake Libby and Kashif Ali, who shared a 180-run fourth-wicket partnership, had put Worcestershire Rapids in the ascendancy, the Outlaws looked out of contention as they slipped to 145 for 7 in reply.
But then Joe Pocklington (54) and Rob Lord, who hit four sixes in a brilliant 83, responded with maiden List A centuries, Lord putting on 71 with the former for the eighth wicket and 92 with Brett Hutton for the ninth, taking the home side within sight of an unlikely win.
Lord was out with 19 needed from 20 balls, which came down to four off the final six deliveries. But Worcestershire's Pakistan international Khurram Shahzad kept his nerve and with Hutton on strike and two required off the last ball, the Outlaws man could only scramble a bye, leaving the scores level. Ethan Brookes finished with 3 for 51.
Rapids had totalled an impressive 312 for seven before rain curtailed their innings after 47.1 overs, skipper Libby finishing on 112 not out after Kashif had made 101 after being dropped on 51, James Hayes taking a career-best 4 for 63 for the Outlaws.
