Uganda launched a spirited fightback on the second day of their Intercontinental Cup fixture in Kampala, but Kenya still finished with a healthy advantage of 236 runs before bad light ended play early.
Steve Tikolo followed-up his first-innings century with 54, as Kenya pressed for quick runs, but was out to the last ball of the day, caught by Lawrence Sematimba, the keeper, off Emmauel Isaneez. The Ugandan attack did an impressive job in restricting the Kenyan run rate as they looked to build on their first-innings lead of 151.
Thomas Odoyo was the star bowler, taking 5-34 with his brisk medium-pace. He helped reduce Uganda to 84 for 6 before a fightback from the seventh wicket pair of Sematimba and Frank Nsubuga. They added 59, with Sematimba making a determined half-century, before Odoyo returned to wrap up the tail.
