GUYANA Harpy Eagles, led by an unfinished 85-run fourth-wicket stand between Tevin Imlach and Kemol Savory, reached 153-3 in fading light at stumps as Round Five of the Cricket West Indies Four-Day Championship continued yesterday.
Savory hit four fours from 78 balls in an unbeaten 46 on yesterday’s fifth-round match against the Windward Island Volcanoes, while Skipper Tevin Imlach reached the boundary twice in his 70-ball undefeated 40.

Raymond Perez hit four fours in his 33, and Guyana’s run-scorer Kevlon Anderson had three boundaries in his 21 as the defending champions ended the rain-hit second day, 60 runs short of Windwards Volcanoes’ 213.
The Windwards began yesterday on their overnight 77-2, with Jeremy Solozano on 43, and Skipper Alick Athaneze on nine at the crease.

At 29, with just a single Test against Sri Lanka, Solozano showed why he is regarded as one of the most elegant batters in the West Indies, with a delightful 83 from 142 balls, decorated with 10 fours.
The Trinidadian left-hander shared in a 49-run partnership with Kavem Hodge (17) for the second, and 48 for the fourth wicket with Athaneze (39).
The Windwards were at one stage 168-3 after Solozano, who made his debut at this level in 2013, reached his thirteenth First-Class half-Century.

But the set Solozano, 17 away from his third century at this level, edged a catch to Wicket-Keeper Imlach to give Gudakesh Motie his first wicket, and leave the visitors at 168-4.
Sunil Ambris (33), with four boundaries, and Shadrack Descarte, who reached the ropes three times, took the Windwards to 195-4.
However, when Veersammy Permaul trapped Descarte LBW for 15, it meant that the Volcanoes had slipped from 195-4 to 213 all out, losing their last five wickets for 18 runs, as the Albion spin twins polished off the lower order.

Permaul had 4-55 to increase his Regional First-Class record to 581 wickets, while fellow left-arm spinner Motie took 3-44, and West Indies off-spinner Kevin Sinclair took 2-54.
Renaldo Ali-Mohamed had the other wicket to fall to finish with 1-33.

At Lunch, Guyana, needing 214 for first-innings points, were 0-0 off of one over, with Raymond Perez, who replaced the injured Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the side, and Matthew Nandu at the crease.
A shower during the interval delayed the resumption by 65 minutes, and resulted in 16 overs being lost.

When play resumed, only one over was bowled, but there was enough time for Nandu (8) to be bowled by Kenneth Dember at 9-1.
Rain again interrupted play after a solitary over was bowled, reducing the remaining overs in the day to 39.

When play resumed, Perez and Anderson added 50 for the second wicket, before Anderson, with two tons and a couple of fifties in this tournament, was bowled by a beauty from Grenadian leg-spinner Darel Sylus.
Anderson fell for 21 with three boundaries, and his demise left Guyana on 61-1.

Just after Tea, and when again well set for a big score, Perez (33) was caught behind off pacer Gilon Tyson at 74-3, before Imlach and Savory saw their team to close.
The action on the penultimate day is scheduled to commence at 09:30 hrs.
