Controlled spells of slow bowling from Trinidad’s duo of left-arm spinners Derone Davis and Jovan Ali put the boys from the twin island republic on the verge of a morale boasting second-round victory over defending three-day champions Windward Islands, in their West Indies Under-19 encounter at Providence Stadium, yesterday.

Scores to date: Trinidad and Tobago 271 (Akeal Hosein 68, Ray Jordan 6-60) lead Windwards 121 (Kavem Hodge 50, Derone Davis 5 for 45) and 59 for 4 by 91 runs after enforcing follow-on.
