Resuming on 14 without loss, Guyana Jaguars were dismissed for 267 – a healthy lead of 128 runs – with opener Rajindra Chandrika hammering a top score of 83.

Captain and Test left-hander Leon Johnson chipped in with 48 and his West Indies teammate Narsingh Deonarine got 32.

Cornwall shone with seven for 96, limiting Jaguars’ attempt to run away with the game. They were 182 for two at one stage with Chandrika and Deonarine going great guns but lost their last eight wickets for 85 runs.

At the close, the Leewards were 36 for one, with Sherwin Peters on 22 not out. They trail by 92 runs heading into Sunday’s third day at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground.

Chandrika and Vishaul Singh posted 55 for the first wicket with Singh hitting 23 off 57 balls before becoming Cornwall’s first wicket.

Jaguars then flourished through an 89-run, second wicket stand between Chandrika and Johnson, as the visitors reached 137 for one at lunch.

Overall, Chandrika faced 182 balls in 3-3/4 hours at the crease and struck 11 fours while Johnson consumed 97 balls in 98 minutes, and thumped three fours and three sixes.

When Johnson was caught and bowled by Cornwall after the break, Chandrika put on another 38 for the third wicket with Deonarine to keep Jaguars on top. However, once Chandrika fell, Jaguars were unable to find a talisman as veteran Test left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul perished cheaply for 11 and Chris Barnwell lost his wicket after making 25.

Meanwhile, over at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent, Andre Fletcher’s fifth first class century made headlines as Windward Islands Volcanoes kept Jamaica Franchise in the field all day.

At the close of the second day of the sixth round encounter, the Windwards were 289 for seven, with the right-handed Fletcher unbeaten on 102.

Overall, Fletcher has counted ten fours and a six, facing 234 balls in just over 4-3/4 hours at the crease. Opener Tyrone Theophile extended his good form with 55, West Indies opener Devon Smith his 36 while Johnson Charles chimed in with 26.

Seamer David Bernard Jr was the best bowler with four for 41. Volcanoes lead by 85 runs.
