Jacobs puts NZ in a spin

Legspinner Damion Jacobs undermined New Zealand's batting, as he claimed four for 69 from 22 overs to help Jamaica reduce the Kiwis to 203 for nine on the opening day of their practice match, at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium yesterday.

Kane Williamson top-scored for the New Zealanders with 47, as most of his teammates failed to come to terms with the Jamaica bowling.

But before Jamaica could start their reply, rain brought play to a halt for the remainder of the day's schedule and is set to resume with the Jamaican openers taking strike today at 9:30 a.m.
