Leicestershire were on the brink of their first Championship defeat of the season at lunch on the final day of the game with Gloucestershire at Grace Road.
By the interval, the visitors, who were chasing 188 for victory, had reached 129-1.
They resumed their second innings on 16-0 and the County bowlers badly needed to claim a couple of early wickets if they were to apply any degree of pressure.
Both Ollie Freckingham and Robbie Williams bowled well in their opening bursts but, although they made life difficult for the Gloucestershire openers, nothing went to hand.
As a result, both Chris Dent and Michael Klinger posted half-centuries.
Dent's innings ending at 71 when he was lbw to Jigar Naik from the last ball of the morning's play. Gloucester skipper Klinger remained unbeaten on 57.
