The rain at the Uptonsteel County Ground in Leicester had relented by lunchtime, but the umpires decided that the outfield was too wet for any play, while a morning of rain also ruined the prospects of play at Edgbaston.
Essex, fifth in Division One, but only 14 points clear of relegation, reached 325-5 after 104 overs in what play was possible with the Bears, picking up two batting points as they edged closer to the draw that will secure another season of top-flight cricket.
Play had been due to start at 15:00 BST in Derby after passing an inspection, but the rain returned, causing the day to be abandoned.
The home side are 17-0 in reply to Glamorgan’s 259, but with the match now almost certainly heading for a draw.
And with Middlesex’s game at Lancashire also well behind because of bad weather, a draw could be enough for Glamorgan to secure promotion and a return to Division One for the first time in 20 years.
