Scorpions 74-5 vs Volcanoes at lunch
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica Scorpions are 74-5 at lunch on Wednesday’s opening day of the regional four-day match against Windward Islands Volcanoes at Sabina Park.
After winning the toss, the Volcanoes asked the hosts to take first strike in hopes of making the most of the morning moisture.
The Volcanoes got the early inroads they wanted, dismissing Chadwick Walton (four), Kirk McKenzie (10), Nkrumah Bonner (one), Captain Jermaine Blackwood (14), and Carlos Brown (eight) as the Scorpions slumped to 45-5.
But Abhijai Mansingh and Romaine Morris, who are both unbeaten on 14, added 29 runs for the sixth wicket to take the Scorpions to the interval without further loss.
Pacers Ryan John and Shamar Springer have taken two wickets each.
