Felix Organ is on 31 at lunch after an even morning at Southampton.
Two wickets for the visitors in a session largely dominated by the 61-run stand between Organ and Nick Gubbins.
Surrey 73-1 v Northants
A very good morning for Surrey having lost the toss.
They lost Ryan Patel to a lazy drive and Hashim Amla got away with an edge just wide of slip.
But Amla is there on 19, and Rory Burns, 33, to get their side to lunch.
There's certainly grass on the wicket but not much to show for Northants' decision to bowl so far.
Essex 63-2 v Yorks
An even morning in Essex.
Nick Browne fell in the opening over and then Tom Westley to Dom Bess' fourth ball of the day.
But Alastair Cook is steady on 31 and Paul Walter is with him at lunch on 4.
Most importantly...the allocation of 32 overs has been bowled!
Easily done if you put your mind to it cricketers.
Warwickshire 84-2 v Lancashire
Dom Sibley completes his most satisfying morning of the summer so far.
Despite the early loss of Alex Davies and seeing Rob Yates also clean bowled at the other end, he has remained becalmed.
He has hit six boundaries so far in his 44, while Sam Hain is already on to 19.
Surrey 59-1 v Northants
Ooo Hashim Amla with a big life.
He drives flat-footedly at Tom Taylor and edges towards third slip.
It's gone quickly past the shoulder of Emilio Gay and it would have been a tremendous one-handed catch had he got there.
Amla follows up by nudging Matt Kelly through the covers for another boundary.
Gubbins lbw b Amir 30 (Hampshire 64-2 v Gloucestershire)
Mohammad Amir takes his first wicket for Gloucestershire as he has Nick Gubbins LBW for 30.

Hampshire 51-1 v Gloucestershire
No further breakthrough for Gloucestershire.
Felix Organ (27) and Nick Gubbins (22) have both hit four boundaries each.
Westley c †Duke b Bess 24 (Essex 56-2 v Yorks)
The introduction of spin brings Yorkshire a second wicket.
A nothing ball - flat outside off from Dom Bess - that Tom Westley goes back to try and cut.
He's a fraction off balance and edges to Harry Duke behind the stumps.
Bess strikes fourth ball.
Warwickshire 50-2 v Lancashire
England opener Dom Sibley is going well on 32, having so far hit five boundaries this morning, as Warwickshire hoist the 50 at Old Trafford.
Essex 50-1 v Yorks
Alastair Cook pulls George Hill for four to backward square.
Tom Westley then nudges Steve Patterson to long leg to raise the Essex fifty.
Runs beginning to come at Chelmsford.
Patel c Kerrigan b Procter 19 (Surrey 31-1 v Northants)
Here's the breakthrough for Northants and it's Luke Procter who's made it.
Round the wicket to Ryan Patel, he's there way too soon with an attempted drive and just lobs it to cover.
A very tame end.
Yates b Wood 15 (Warwickshire 35-2 v Lancashire)
Second wicket of the morning for the hosts as Luke Wood comprehensively bowls Rob Yates.
The former Worcestershire left-armer simply beats left-hander Yates with a yorker that significantly rearranges his furniture.
"An absolute snorter" says David Lloyd on the commentary.
Sam Hain comes in to join Dom Sibley.
Essex 38-1 v Yorks
Since the loss of Nick Browne, Essex have settled well.
Tom Westley has whipped Jordan Thompson to the midwicket fence and glanced Steve Patterson to long leg for four more.
Ali Cook has added a lofted straight drive to his boundary count.
He was there too early against Matt Revis and it was catchable height but just wide of the bowler.
Good early progress for most batters in Division Two.
Leicestershire openers Hassan Azad and Sam Evans have reached 36-0 against Glamorgan after being put in by the visitors.
Sussex, who chose to bat at Hove, have reached 38-1 against Middlesex for the loss of only skipper Tom Haines for 17.
And Durham openers Alex Lees and Sean Dickson have made a sound start after the visitors won the toss at Worcester. They have already reached 50 without loss.
Surrey 21-0 v Northants
Lovely, tight, probing stuff as ever from Ben Sanderson.
A thick inside edge from Ryan Patel whistles past short leg and runs to the short deep square boundary.
Rory Burns being kept very honest at the other end.
Nice start from Northants but no reward yet.
Hampshire 30-1 v Gloucestershire
Two boundaries each now for Felix Organ and Nick Gubbins as Hampshire repair the damage following the early loss of Ian Holland.
Gubbins is the man in form, after his two centuries in the rain-ruined match against Lancashire last week.
Hampshire have Aneurin Donald in their line-up for the first time since September 2019 after missing two complete seasons following reconstructive knee surgery.
Essex 10-1 v Yorks
35 balls it's taken for Essex to open their account but they're underway.
Alastair Cook then drives Jordan Thompson oh-so gloriously through mid-off for the game's opening boundary.
Surrey 11-0 v Northants
Surrey inserted at The Oval on a pitch with a green tinge but a steady 20 minutes.
Ryan Patel has driven the opening boundary sweetly through mid-off.
Northants very competitive in all three games so far - but yet to win.
They will be annoyed not to have completed the job last week when so heavily on top at Essex.
Holland c Bracey b Higgins 2 (Hampshire 3-0 v Gloucestershire)
Early strike too for Gloucestershire all-rounder Ryan Higgins at Southampton as he has Ian Holland caught behind in the third over.
New man in is Nick Gubbins.
