A much-improved all-round performance from the Windward Islands Volcanoes which saw Devon Smith missing out on another regional first-class century  coupled with a few wickets in the second innings, prevented the Guyana Jaguars from rolling over the visitors on the penultimate day of the Cricket West Indies (CWI) regional four-day tournament at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

Jaguars in pursuit of 165 for victory, ended the day on 104 – 4.

Earlier, Volcanoes resuming on 127 – 6 with a lead of 50, reached 214 – 8 at lunch.

Smith, continuing from where he left off, took his overnight total of 49, to 95 before he was bowled by left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie to end his resistance.
