ON the back of outstanding performances from Skipper Kemol Savory and Kevlon Anderson the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE), replying to the 346 made by Barbados Pride were 315-3 on the second day of CWI’s Regional First-Class four-day tournament at the Providence Stadium yesterday, just 32 runs away from first innings points.

When bad light stopped play Anderson was unbeaten on 87 from 125 balls with 14 fours and has shared in an unfinished 179-run fourth-wicket partnership with Savory who has faced 135 balls and reached the boundary 14 times and cleared it once in his undefeated 95.
This was after Tagenarine Chanderpaul (40) and fellow left-hander Matthew Nandu (36) provided a solid foundation with an 88-run opening stand.

After a 15-minute last start due to a slight shower, Guyana began their reply in brilliant sunshine and off the first ball of the day, Chanderpaul cut Forde for four while Nandu, after a circumspect start, grew in confidence as the partnership progressed.
The 21-year-old Nandu hit two sixes, the first from a top- edged hook as pacer Chemar Holder bowled short while the second was well-controlled off Jair McAllister on a track that was not conducive to short bowling.
Chanderpaul also played a classy on-drive which reached the ropes in a flash despite the morning drizzle as the left- handed pair who both play for Everest locally brought up the 50 partnership.
But with the score on 61, Nandu was controversially given out caught and bowled off the bowling of off-spinner Chaim Holder.
Nandu, who hit three fours and two sixes from 58 balls in his 30, stood his ground indicating the ball was hit into the ground.
Perez played a few impetuous shots but his square drive off pacer Chemar Holder was out of the top drawer.
By lunch, the second wicket partnership was beginning to be a worry for Barbados.

At the interval, Guyana were 92-2 with Chanderpaul on 31 and Perez on 20.
After Lunch, Perez had problems against Matthew Forde but attacked the off-spinner Holder hitting the bowler for consecutive boundaries and quickly passing Chanderpaul’s score.
The 50 partnership was soon posted as Chanderpaul continued to be the glue that held the innings together, allowing the others to bat around.
With conditions becoming overcast and a strong breeze blowing across the ground, Chanderpaul pulled Chaim Holder for four while Pere gained confidence the longer he batted.
Leg-spinner Javed Leacock had Chanderpaul caught and bowled after he had faced 119 balls and struck six fours in his 40 to break the 63-run stand with Perez and leave Guyana 124-2.
Twelve runs later Perez fell to fast bowler Jair McAllister for 46 with seven fours to bring skipper Kemol Savory to the crease to join Kevlon Anderson.
Together they played with good intent and went after McAllister and both were unbeaten at Tea.

Savory was on 26, Anderson on 29 and Guyana on 184-3 After the break, both batters upped the tempo with Savory playing some audacious cuts while Anderson hit off-spinner Chaim Holder for back-to-back boundaries.
Savory reached his third fifty at this level and celebrated with a swept boundary and a lofted six off Holder to post the hundred stand. His fifty lasted 67 balls and was decorated with eight fours.
The twenty-four-year-old Anderson reached his third half- century from 80 balls with eighth fours before caressing Forde for a boundary to post the 250.
The left-handed Savory was dropped by wicket Keeper Demetrius Richards when he was on 62.

With the floodlights on, Anderson and Savory scored freely before bad light stopped play. The action is scheduled to commence at 9:45 hours on the third day, today.
