Windies 'A'

West Indies 'A' team opener Darren Ganga joined the run-scoring party in England, hitting a cultured unbeaten 139 as the tourists took an unbeatable lead against Lancashire at Liverpool.

At the end of the third day's play, the West Indies 'A' reached 361 for five, a lead of 451 with one day to go, thanks to Ganga's first century of the tour, which counted 14 fours and a six.

He put on an opening stand of 149 with Test opener Chris Gayle, who continued his fine form with a typical swashbuckling innings of 94 (131 balls, 17 fours). Right-handed middle order bat Runako Morton included six fours and two sixes in an 89-ball 53.
