Kevlon Anderson, asked to open the batting, was the lone wicket to fall by Tea, when he was bowled by Keon Joseph for five at 6-1.

In the last session, Dindyal fell LBW to Kevin Umroa for 29 from 79 balls and 105 minutes at 56-2.
Shimron Hetymer, not selected by West Indies for the ODI series against Ireland and England, joined Imlach and left-hander who celebrated his 25th birthday last Boxing day, batted confidently.
Although not reaching 40 in the GCB’s yo-yo test on both occasions, Hetymer, with 16 Test matches and 35 First Class matches under his belt, soon reached his 50.
He finished unbeaten 69 from 110 balls and 101 minutes with three fours and has so far featured in an unfinished 98-run third wicket stand with Imlach, who has hit three boundaries in his 45 not out from 134 balls and 195 minutes.

Anthony Adams joined Pestano and added another 58 runs for the ninth wicket with the upper Corentyne fast bowling all-rounder Pestano dominating the partnership with on 69 from 137 balls, 177 minutes decorarted with four fours and two sixes on the large ground. Paul got rid of the pugnacious Pestano at 254-9 before West Indies left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul trapped Kevin Umroa LBW for an eight-ball duck without addition to the score.
Adams, who played an excellent supporting role to Pestano, was left unbeaten on nine from 71 balls and just short of two hours at the crease.
Skipper Paul (2-20), Tyndall (2-27) and Permaul (2-67) were the wicket takers.
