George Hill hits a boundary off Matt Critchley to secure Yorkshire's fifth batting point and skipper Steven Patterson calls a halt to his side's first innings.

Their job now is to try and bowl out Derbyshire twice in five and a bit sessions to make it three wins out of three in North group.#

Kudos again to Dawid Malan for his magnificent career-best 219. Jordan Thompson ends on 36 not out.

A fully-deserved century for Somerset's wicketkeeper-batsman Steve Davies. He picks it up in slightly unusual fashion, scampering for a three but he won't care a jot how it came.

Somerset have passed 300 for a third batting point and are approaching a lead of 200 - only the weather can save Warwickshire now, you suspect.

At the other end, Jamie Overton is threatening to catch Davies up - he's smashed a run-a-ball 49 including a couple of massive sixes.

Arundel Castle is the only ground where we haven't seen any play so far. There will be a further inspection at 12:45, so let;'s hope we see some play this afternoon.

Still no success for Lancashire at Trent Bridge where Ben Slater and Joe Clarke have now added 80 for the fourth wicket.

Clarke pulled spinner Tom Hartley powerfully for four and is now 41 not out, with Slater on 137.

Elsewhere, Gloucestershire have begun their reply to Glamorgan's 116 all out - and they haven't begun it particularly well.

Chris Dent is adjudged caught behind for a duck in the second over, although the Gloucestershire skipper did not look particularly convinced by the umpire's decision.

And there it is - Dawid Malan reaches the first double century of his career from 240 balls, with a boundary, carved through the covers off Leus du Plooy.

He celebrates with 4-6-6 from the next three deliveries and suddenly he is on 219 - but that is as far as he gets as the final ball of the over sees him caught at long-off by Ben Aitchison.

Malan batted for 366 minutes, faced 244 balls and hit four sixes and 28 fours. Superb knock,.

Warks 121 v Somerset 290-8

Jamie Overton is not messing about for Somerset - he wallops a stunning six off Craig Miles to move to 30no and put Somerset within reach of a third batting point.

At the other end, Steven Davies, on 95, is in touching distance of a century...

Dawid Malan made his highest score of 199 for Middlesex against Derbyshire in 2019 - and he is getting mighty close to bettering that for his new county after launching Matt Critchley over mid-wicket for six.

Malan is now 192 not out and Jordan Thompson has 20 - that's four batting points now for the Tykes.

And, of course, just as I write that, Buck departs - sorry, Northants fans.

Ed Barnard's delivery was just too good for him and Buck could only nick to second slip where Daryl Mitchell pounces.

A nice 32 though there from Buck - Northants' top score - to get the hosts right back in this one.

Well, well, well - Northants were facing a hefty first-innings deficit at Wantage Road when they slumped to 100-7. Now, they could be eyeing a lead. This is why we love cricket, eh?

Nathan Buck (pictured) is on 32 and Gareth Berg 18 - they have put together a quickfire 50 partnership in just 54 balls that has got Worcestershire just a tad worried.

Liam Hurt has repeatedly tried banging the ball in short to Joe Clarke and apart from one fortuitous edge to third man, it simply has not worked.

Clarke pulls through mid-wicket for four to take the Notts total past 300 and earn them a third batting point.

He has 26 and Ben Slater is on 120, having added only nine to his overnight total so far.

Somerset have recovered from the blow of those early couple of wickets, and have recorded a second batting point.

Steven Davies is on 82 - he will be targeting a ton and Somerset will be eyeing 300 and a big lead over Warwickshire.

David Payne seems to like Monday mornings - his fourth scalp of the day gives the Gloucestershire paceman a five-for overall and Glamorgan are staring down the barrel of a very low total.

Tim van der Gugten is his latest victim, an unarguable lbw.

Did that carry - the umpire says yes.

Jamie Porter takes five in an innings for the 13th time as Stuart Meaker edges to second slip where Simon Harmer takes the catch millimetres above the turf.

Porter now has 340+ wickets at an average in the mid 20s - he is so unlucky not to have had at least one chance for England. But there have been plenty of good players down the years who could say the same.

Wow, Dawid Malan has been timing it well in this innings.

Dustin Melton bowls one on his pads and Malan thumpos it away over mid-wicket for the 26th four of his innings.

The left-hander now has 179 not out and partner Jordan Thompson is on nine.
