Jamaica in control against W/Wards, Bajans & L/Ward locked in battle

The Combined Colleges & Campuses (CCC) were 105-4 in their 2nd innings against defending regional One-Day champions Trinidad and Tobago at the end of the 2nd day of their opening round 4-day first class match at Jarrett Park in Jamaica giving them an overall lead 232 going into today’s penultimate day.
CCC head into day 3 in a commanding position to dictate the match and a result looks on the cards with the students in the driving seat.
Scores: CCC 234 & 105-4, T&T 107
Test opener 23-year-old Omar Phillips who fell 12 short of his ton in the first innings is unbeaten on 51 while discarded West Indies Captain 37-year-old Floyd Reifer will be anxious to build on his unbeaten 8 after being removed by Ravi Rampaul for 4 in the first innings as his string of low scores since his West Indies re-call last year continues.
Jackson (11), Parris (11), Currency (4) and Walton (13) are the CCC batsmen dismissed in the 2nd innings and T&T will need to deliver some extraordinary batting to deny CCC full points once there is no rain or a dramatic CCC batting collapse today.
And the Windwards were 19-1 in their 2nd innings against defending champions and home team Jamaica in their clash, still 135 runs away from making the Jamaicans bat again with 2 days remaining.
Scores: W/Wards 181 & 19-1, Jamaica 335
It has been a particularly disappointing match for Test left-hander Devon Smith who fell cheaply to a long hop in the first innings and was sent packing by Andre Richardson for a first ball duck in the second before Shillingford (12*) and Theophile (7*) saw the Islanders to the close wobbling on the ropes.
Wavel Hinds fell 5 short of a hundred while a Donavon Pagon made 56 as Pascal took 2 wickets, Peters had 3, and Lewis 2 as Jamaica led on first innings by 154 yesterday.
In the other first round match, the Leewards were 20-0 at the close enjoying a lead of 27 runs after taking a slim 7-run first innings from Barbados.
Scores: L/Wards 236 & 20-0, Barbados 229
Kieran Powell (10*) and Montcin Hodge (4*) will want to build a big partnership today to set Barbados a challenging victory total.
From an overnight 74 without loss, Barbados fell for 229 with openers Dale Richards and Kirk Edwards both making 60.
Richards batted for 127 minutes, faced 103 balls and struck eight fours and one six, while Edwards was at the crease for 237 minutes, received 167 balls and hit seven boundaries.
Barbados lost wickets steadily after Richards and Jason Haynes (28) added 103 in 33 overs for the first wicket.
The next best partnership was 42 for the fourth wicket between Edwards and debutant Kyle Hope (22).The last seven wickets tumbled for 74 runs.
Leg-spinner Anthony Martin took 3-38 off 19.1 overs and off-spinner Omari Banks, 2-41 off 18 overs.
