Glamorgan 12 for 0 (Northeast 12*, Tribe 0*) trail Yorkshire 361 ((Hill 90, Wharton 63, Bess 50, Govin 4-67) by 349 runs
Trailing second-placed Middlesex by a single point at the start of the day’s play, Yorkshire were chasing batting points and had to settle for three after being put in to bat first.
Hill went on to get the big score, getting out with only a handful of overs left at the end of the day, while no fewer than four other batsmen got more than 40 without going on to make the most of their starts.
Yorkshire made steady progress with a bright day ahead and no terrors in the Sophia Gardens pitch after early cloud cover lifted. The story of the early part of the day was batters who got in and then got out when seemingly set for a bigger score, a trend started by opening partnership Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean.
Lyth passed 1,000 runs in the season for the fifth time of his career, as the pair put on 67 for the opening wicket before both departing in similar style.
The unlikely Glamorgan spearhead was the medium-fast bowling of Gorvin, twice getting the ball to straighten to trap the left handers in front of the wicket to depart lbw.
Jonny Bairstow was on Yorkshire duty having been left out of the England one-day squad, back at his home ground in The Hundred where he plays for Welsh Fire. He did not hang around and provided Gorvin with his third wicket, waving the ball to backward point from a loose drive, caught by Ben Kellaway.
Glamorgan’s fifth wicket came with a substantial slice of luck. Leg-spinner Mason Crane sent a long hop down the leg side, which somehow went from the edge of Jonathan Tattersall’s bat to be clutched in his belly by home wicketkeeper Chris Cooke.
The skipper was more than a little disappointed to have missed out on a bigger score, departing for 41.
Hill made the most of recent good form coming into the game despite falling narrowly short of a deserved century, van der Gugten getting his second wicket with the second new ball.
Glamorgan openers Sam Northeast and Asa Tribe survived the last two overs of the day.
