Jamaica, England strong on day one

Both England and Jamaica were in good positions at the end of the day one of the third round of the WICB Regional competition. England Lions started well but lost tail-end wickets cheaply as Trinidad fought back to hold the Lions to 311 for 9 at the close  of play.

 Jamaica rebounded from some early jitters with a 100 odd run partnership between Danza Hyatt and Nash/Lambert, and then a solid partnership between David Bernard Jr and Chadwick Walton to end the day on 316 for 5.
