Luis Reece took 5-47 to put Derbyshire in a good position on Day Two of the Specsavers County Championship match against Durham at The Pattonair County Ground.
Tom Lace remains unbeaten on 41 as Derbyshire take a 133-run lead into the third day, after the hosts had earlier bowled out the visitors for 171.
Reece claimed his second five-wicket haul for Derbyshire, the previous being his career-best 7-20 against Gloucestershire in the final match of 2018.
Ravi Rampaul also took 3-47 as each bowler took a wicket in a good bowling performance from the hosts, with Derbyshire to resume on 107-3 on Day Three.
Nightwatchman Matt Salisbury resumed the innings alongside Alex Lees with the score on 41-3 as Rampaul’s probing line paid dividends.
The West Indian got the breakthrough to remove Salisbury (12) as he top-edged a short ball to Anuj Dal at point.
Rampaul then got the big wicket shortly after as he trapped Lees lbw for 32 with wickets beginning to fall at regular intervals.
Tony Palladino came into the attack to remove Stuart Poynter (8) and reduce the visitors to 106-6 at lunch.

The all-rounder then came out to open the batting alongside Billy Godleman, as the pair were patient in the opening exchanges to take the score to 20-0.
However, Salisbury got the breakthrough for the visitors to remove Reece (10) before Godleman also fell shortly after.
Raine came into the attack to remove the Derbyshire captain for 19 as the hosts slipped to 33-2.
