Vishal's 115* Puts Guyana in Command

Vishal Nagamootoo's maiden first class century (115 not out) pushed Guyana to a commanding 220-run first innings lead over West Indies 'B' at Christiansted in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Nagamootoo found an unlikely batting partner in pacer Rayon Griffith (82 not out) as Guyana reached 354 for eight (declared) in reply to the Windies 'B' first innings score of 134. (Summarised scores of all games follow...)
