Gidron Pope provided his team with the breakthrough when he had Mc Catty caught by Roland Cato. Lugg then added 64 for the second wicket with Nicholas Walters before he was caught and bowled by Deron Hypoltie.
Walters and Shahid Crooks continued to frustrate their opponents with a third wicket partnership of 40 before Crooks went for 14. Windward Islands fought themselves back into the contest with the wickets of Walters (34), Romaine Morris (06) and Mark Parchment (02), but Ramaal Lewis (16*) and Ryon Burnette (04*) saw their team to the close without further hiccups adding 18 for seventh wicket.
Hypolite has so far taken 2-55, Pope 2-64, Lewis 1-23 and Edward 1-37. Jamaica have gathered 5.1 points and Windwards 2.1 from the contest so far. Today is the final day.
