Scorecard

An unbeaten 104 from Ramnaresh Sarwan, the Guyana captain, gave them a crucial first-innings lead of 56 as they finished the second day of their Carib Beer match at 245 for 8 against Windward Islands at St Georges in Grenada.

Responding to Windwards' first innings score of 189, Steven Jacobs and Narsingh Deonarine took the score to 50 when a sudden collapse saw Guyana losing three wickets for just two runs. Sarwan and Travis Dowlin then took the score to 102, adding 50 for the fifth wicket.

Guyana were in further trouble at 143 for 8 but Sarwan and Rayon Griffith built a crucial 96-run partnership for the ninth wicket. Griffith scored five boundaries in his innings of 36, before holing out to Daren Sammy at midwicket off Jean Paul. Sarwan, dropped on 61 by Junior Murray, the wicketkeeper, reached his 20th first-class century off 222 balls, scoring 12 boundaries and a six. Rawl Lewis and Kenroy Peters took three wickets each for Windwards.
