UPDATE: Scorpions hold 61-run lead vs Volcanoes

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica Scorpions ended Friday on 261-8 in their first-innings reply to hold a 61-run lead over Windward Islands Volcanoes in the fifth-round regional four-day cricket match at Sabina Park.

The Scorpions left-hand opening batsman John Campbell has top-scored so far with a 79-ball knock of 71. Middle-order batsman Fabian Allen is unbeaten on 57, while Captain Nikita Miller is on 29. Off-spinner Shane Shillingford took 5-72 for the Volcanoes before umpires called off play at 4:26 pm due to bad light.

Scores: Volcanoes 200 (83 overs); Scorpions 261-8 (94.3 overs)

Veteran left-hand opener Devon Smith led the Volcanoes on Thursday’s opening day with 116 not out. Left-arm finger spinner Miller claimed 5-60.
