COUVA, Trinidad, (CMC) – Half-centuries from Test batsman Devon Smith, along with Miles Bascombe and Romel Currency, helped Windward Islands Volcanoes dominate the opening day of their eighth round WICB PCL clash against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force here yesterday.Opting to bat first at the National Cricket Centre, the Windwards finished the day on 304 for six, with Smith carving out an attractive 70, Bascombe 65 and Currency, an unbeaten 52.

Opener Tyrone Theophile chipped in with 39 and Dalton Polius, 31.
Leg-spinner Imran Khan was the best bowler with four for 104.
Smith and Theophile gave the visitors a great start by putting on 99 for the first wicket, a partnership that carried the side to 91 without loss at the lunch interval.
The left-handed Smith faced 115 balls in 257 minutes and counted eight fours while Theophile hit five fours and a six off 91 balls before he unnecessarily holed out to long-off to give Imran Khan his first wicket.
Smith perished at 128 for two, lbw to pacer Marlon Richards at the start of a new spell but Bascombe and Craig Emmanuel (20) put on a further 58 for the third wicket to keep the Windwards on top.
Bascombe struck six fours and three sixes off 96 balls in an innings lasting just under two hours.
Both batsmen fell within 17 runs of each other paving the way for Currency to anchor a 51-run, fifth wicket partnership with Polius.
Currency has so far consumed 93 balls and hit three fours and a six in nearly two hours at the crease.
