Matthew Wood rapped out his first century of the season in an unbroken second wicket stand of 161 in 39 overs with Anthony McGrath as Yorkshire made up for lost time on the first day of their Championship match with Derbyshire at Headingley.

After the morning session had fallen foul of the weather, Yorkshire stood on 225 for one when bad light and then rain ended play for the day with eight overs remaining.

Wood was exactly 100 not out from 184 balls, while McGrath had struck a chanceless 89 off 114 deliveries.

Wood was happy to win the toss on a good batting pitch - the same used for the floodlit game earlier in the week - and he and Andy Gale settled into a productive partnership.

Wood began with some well timed cover drives which brought him the first 19 runs scored, but Gale soon began to thrive on the legside as he narrowed the gap with his captain.

He had made 29 out of 64, Yorkshire's second highest opening stand of the season, when he moved across his stumps to Jon Moss and was lbw.

Progress was maintained with the arrival of McGrath. He and Wood made the most of every scoring opportunity against bowling which occasionally allowed them too much width and Wood pulled sixes off Moss and Graeme Welch on his way to his eighth 50 in ten consecutive Championship innings.

Paget was given his first bowl at 105 for one in 37 overs and immediately showed plenty of promise with a high floating action and a good length. His first 27 deliveries cost only five runs before McGrath drove him over mid-off for four.

Wood made his first mistake on 66 when he was put down low at first slip by Welch off Mo Sheikh, but the second wicket pair continued to prosper and McGrath's 50 came from 66 balls, the century stand arriving soon afterwards.

The weather was closing in and Wood just had time to scamper the single that brought him his 15th first class century for Yorkshire.
