Hurricanes vs Jaguars
Louis had opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul caught at slip for three and bowled Test batsman Leon Johnson, the Jaguars captain, for two to leave the visitors eight for two.
They were just beginning to find their feet, when Stanny Simon removed Chandrapaul Hemraj for 23, triggering a decline that saw four wickets – including veteran former Windies left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul – fall for 14, as the Jags stumbled past the 50 mark.
Night-watchman Veerasammy Permaul was run out for a duck in a mix-up with Windies “A” Team batsman Vishaul Singh, Chanderpaul was caught behind off Windies “A” Team off-spin all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall for five and wicketkeeper/batsman Anthony Bramble fell to spinner Terence Warde before stumps were drawn.
Earlier, a 175-run stand between Hodge and Carty was the rock upon which the Hurricanes built their first innings total.
Hodge hit the top score of 91 and Carty made 82 before the Hurricanes stumped to 246 for five.
Hamilton, whose form eluded him in the recent series against Sri Lanka “A”, hit 56, anchoring two half-centuries with Cornwall and Warde that pushed the Hurricanes past the 350 mark.
The home team however, sacrificed a few late wickets in the charge to get their total past 400 before the declaration.
