Luis Reece took 5-47 as Derbyshire fought back on day two against Durham to establish a 133-run advantage.
After a first-ball duck at the start of the game, all-rounder Reece undermined Durham's hopes of a first-innings lead.
Alex Lees made 32 and Jack Burnham 31 in his first Championship innings after a year-long drugs ban.
But they were all out for 171, a deficit of 26, and Derbyshire reached 107-3 when bad light ended play, with Tom Lace on 41 not out.
Reece followed his five-for by falling for 10 in Derbyshire's second innings, but Lace put on exactly 50 with Wayne Madsen (30) and was just two runs short of equalling his highest first-class score at stumps.
Earlier, Burnham marked his comeback by batting for over two hours before being caught behind by Reece in his first Championship innings since 2017.
