Jacobs snatched 6-46 on a good first day Providence track where Johnson was outstanding with his captaincy as he used his bowlers well and maintained good field settings. Bacchus was the top-scorer with a defiant 45 an innings which included eight fours while spinner Raj Nannan (25) and wicket-keeper Dexter Solomon (19) were the other primary scorers.
Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie picked up 2-18 while pacers Chris Barnwell and Keon Joseph ended with a wicket each for Johnson’s side.
Johnson’s XI at stumps were 76-2, facing a deficit of 65 runs with opener Assad Fudadin (26) set to resume his innings today.
