Rob Keogh is out of the attack and Saif Zaib is back in.

James Coles will keep the strike with a single pushed into mid on off the last ball.

Luke Procter is gun barrel straight to Coles, who pushes defensively into the off side.

But the third ball is leg side and tucked away behind square for one.

Tom Haines has been a little quiet of late but he launches into a gorgeous drive through the covers for four to take the fourth wicket partnership to 50 in 75 balls.

Absolutely incredible, what a remarkable start to the 2024 County Championship Division One for Kashif Ali.

He did bring up both centuries with a six.

He's played some beautiful strokes, we're all really touched by his story and how wonderful it was to see him get a hundred and now he's got two.

It's raining again.

Not the most elegant of strokes of his innings but it's a moment of celebration for Kashif Ali.

Twin hundreds in his first game in Division One and achieved with a style, panache and confidence that suggests that they'll be the first of quite a few.

I think in both innings he's reached his century with a six, how stylish is that?!

It seems Kashif Ali is finding every inch of the boundary rope at Edgbaston.

Warwks 333 v Worcs 360 & 174-1

Kashif Ali advances to 98 with four runs swept to fine leg off Danny Briggs. He keeps the strike with a single off the fifth ball.

He checks a drive to mid off against Barnard - but he's got it this time! A ton in each innings! The first two centuries of his career!

He's down the track with a swipe over wide long on! Not textbook but immaculate execution.

He's worth watching and we'll surely see him many more times.

108 balls, 14 fours, three sixes.

Somerset's Tom Lammonby is inching towards a seventh first-class century.

He's up to 75 and, but for a shaky 20-minute spell when he almost lost his wicket on a couple of occasions just before he reached his fifty, has looked reasonably assured.

The visitors' deficit is down to 105.

Paul Walter goes for a huge hoick over square off Calvin Harrison.

He misses it but it bounces up and over the stumps and is too sharp for Joe Clarke to take.

The four byes are enough to clock up the 100-run mark for Walter and Matt Critchley.

Essex have moved their advantage up to 189.

Northants captain Luke Procter has brought himself on to bowl some medium pace seamers and he starts with a maiden.

Rob Keogh is a tad short and Haines takes an easy single to cover.

Keogh follows that up with a wide and full tosses down the leg side - which luckily for Northants don't result in runs.

Notts 293 v Essex 253 & 222-5

Brett Hutton returns to the attack and Matt Critchley guides the first ball out to deep square.

That runs sees the ex-Derbyshire man reach 50. It has taken 165 minutes and 129 balls, so quite slow going, but that doesn't matter.

Essex now lead by 182 with five wickets still in the hutch.

More runs for Kashif Ali. Four of them with a dainty cut past gully - and that takes the Pears past 150 in the 34th over.

Ryan Higgins really is a very good county cricketer.

Middlesex needed runs and he is doing his bit as he reaches a first half century of the summer.

This stand with wicketkeeper Jack Davies is now up to 54.

Ben Sanderson comes back strongly after an expensive 11th over with a maiden in his 12th.

Just a couple of runs off Rob Keogh at the other end.

Warwks 333 v Worcs 360 & 149-1

An 87-ball half century for Jake Libby comes after his fifth and sixth fours, carved through point off Danny Briggs.

This is the 25th half century of his career.

With the Pears looking so comfortable in this second-wicket partnership with Kashif Ali, the Bears are in trouble.

If Jake Libby is still batting at 18:00 tonight then Worcestershire will be in a pretty strong position.

We have a start time at Headingley!

Umpires Mark Newell and Jack Shantry have had another look at the pitch and determined they can get under way on day three at 15:50 BST.

Yorkshire will resume on 72-2 in reply to Leicestershire's 354 all out.

And there's every chance we might see England's Harry Brook get a bat if they are on the field for the remainder of the day.

Ed Barnard is going to have a bowl.

His fourth ball is worked off the hip by Jake Libby for four.

Libby rides the bounce of the sixth ball and pushes into backward point for a single.

It'll be an incredible feat by Kashif Ali if he gets a 100 in both innings of his first couple of days out in Division One.

Notts 293 v Essex 253 & 217-5

The first over of spin of the day at Trent Bridge as leggie Calvin Harrison is thrown the ball.

Matt Critchley eases one straight to pick up a single before Paul Walter tucks one square.

That sees the big man reach his half century off 66 balls. It is an invaluable contribution in terms of this innings.

Tom Haines is on the attack against Ben Sanderson, twice flaying the bowler through backward point for four.

There's some punishment for Keogh at the other end too as James Coles twice sweeps square for four.

Sussex are rebuilding the innings nicely.
