Following another ordinary day of cricket East Coast Demerara had taken the initiative, but Lower Corentyne were fighting back at the end of the second day of the Fifth round Jaguar Franchise match which is being played at the Albion Community Centre ground.
Lower Corentyne began the day on 70-1with their inform batsmen Jonathan Foo and Khandasammy Surujnarine at the crease in pursuit of East Coast 277. However, Lower Corentyne flattered to deceive on a good batting pitch, through careless batting to be dismissed for 193.
Seon Hetmyer batting at No7 top scored of the host with a well-played 54(2×4), Surujnarine added 19 to his overnight score to be dismissed for 46((5×4). Foo, who a lot was depending on, fell for 37 in the second over of the day. Kassim Khan made 17. Most of the batsmen fell to big shots and though East Coast like their Lower Corentyne counterparts floored a number of chances. The batsmen did not capitalize.
Bowling for East Coast, leg spinner Amir Khan bagged 5-69, he received good support from Paul Wintz with 3-44, while there were one each for Sankar and Tameshwar Yadram.
East Coast in their second turn at the crease with a lead of 84 were struggling at 97-7 for a lead of 171. None of the batsmen showed any permanence and looked very timid at the crease.
Ramnarine Chaturia scored 23, while Bashkar Yardram and Khan with have so far scored 21 each. The not out batsmen are Chandrpaul Hemraj 13 and Vivian Albert 0.
Bowling for Lower Corentyne, left arm spinner Kasim Khan has done the damage with 3 wickets whilst Royston Crandon has so far taken two with Foo snaring one.
An interesting day is expected today with Easy Coast leading by 173 runs with three wickets intact. Lower Corentyne will be looking to bounce back for another come from behind win. (Samuel Whyte)
