Opener Bisram Narine (12) and Akash Sukhall (6) were then dismissed by national left-arm spinner Gilbert Griffth to leave the home team shakily placed at 34 for 3 in thirteen overs. Vice-captain and national player Sohil Mohammed and the talented Matthew Perriera then added a crucial partnership of 51 for the fourth wicket before Mohammed seemed unlucky to be given out LBW for a well-composed 32 by medium pacer Beaton at 85 for 4 in the 22nd over.
