Guyana control Trinidad and Tobago after Rampersaud’s 5-for

A second consecutive five-wicket haul from off-spinner Jonathan Rampersaud and a half-century from Shamar Yearwood helped Guyana Under-19s to a 57-run lead over Trinidad and Tobago. Playing in round two of the West Indies Regional U-19 three-day tournament in St Vincent, Rampersaud bagged 5-16 in 11 overs as Trinidad and Tobago declared on 95-6 in 37 overs.
Owing to no play on day one, Trinidad had declared with the intention of getting a result in the game. However, things did not go to plan as wicketkeeper-batter Yearwood stood tall for Guyana with 52. The Guyanese ended on 152-4 at stumps on day two.
Joash Charles was the other Guyanese bowler with success as he claimed 1-13 in five overs. In addition to Yearwood, skipper Mavendra Dindyal made 38. The in-form Zeynul Ramsammy is unbeaten on 16 along with Rivaldo Clarke. The duo will resume the third and final day with a lead of 57 runs. The Trinidad bowlers had shared the wickets among themselves on what was described as a flat surface in Sion Hill, St Vincent.
