KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – Guyana were facing a tall order to save their third round match in the Regional Four-Day Championship, after conceding first innings points to Windward Islands and then losing two quick second innings wickets late on the second day, at Arnos Vale ground yesterday.
Trailing by 125 runs on first innings,

Guyana finished the day on 49 for two, still requiring a further 76 runs heading into the third day today, to make the Windwards bat again,
having being rocked by discarded West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford who took the two wickets to fall, to finish with two for nine from his nine overs.
He prised out Rajendra Chandrika for eight at 25 for one with the first ball of his spell and then also accounted for Sewnarine Chattergoon, caught at the wicket off a thin edge at 35 for two.
However, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the son of veteran West Indies left-hander, Shiv Chanderpaul, saw Guyana to the safety of the close with 29 not out, after the Windwards were dismissed for 276, from their overnight score of 123 for 4, in reply to Guyana’s 151.
While no batsman cashed in with a big score, captain Liam Sebastien made 35, wicketkeeper Lyndon James got 31 while Kenroy Peters weighed in with 27.
Out-of-favour West Indies leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo finished with 5 for 67 while Leon Johnson picked up 2 for 18.
Sebastien and Peters converted their fifth wicket stand into a half-century partnership before both were removed in quick succession, to leave the Windwards on 192 for six.
There was no collapse, however, as James combined with Dalton Polius (24) to add a further 57 for the seventh wicket and deny Guyana any immediate comeback.
No scorecard was available for this match, but the summarized scores are as follows:

GUYANA 151 all out (Assad Fudadin 55, Rajendra Chandrika 25, Leon Johnson 23; Shane Shillingford 4-40, Liam Sebastien 3-21, Delorn Johnson 3-43) and 49 for two (Tagenarine Chanderpaul 29 not out)

WINDWARD ISLANDS 276 (Keddy Lesporis 39, Devon Smith 38, Liam Sebastien 35, Lyndon James 31, Kenroy Peters 27, Dalton Polius 24; Devendra Bishoo 5-67, Leon Johnson 2-18).
