Guyana 103 (Hemraj 49, Davis 4-30, Mohammed 2-25, Hosein 2-3) and 6/1 (Surujnarine 6*, Khan 0*) need 147 to beat Trinidad 191 and 64 (Adams 5-16, Motie-Kanhai 3-0, Beaton 2-23)

On a day in which spin exposed the faltering techniques and temperaments of both batting sides, which caused the pendulum  to swing from one team to the other, 22 wickets fell, 18 to the spinners for a total of 198 runs, and, at the close of play, Guyana were 6-1 chasing 153 for an outright win.

Trinidad, 166-9 overnight, resumed yesterday morning at 9:30am as the umpires tried to make up for time lost to rain on day one.
