A savage unbeaten half-century from Ricardo Adams carried Essequibo to within reach of victory over Georgetown in the latest round Guyana Cricket Board/Jaguars three-day Franchise League competition at the Tuschen Sports Club Ground, East Bank Essequibo, yesterday.

His knock casted shadows over solid performances from Leon Johnson and Christopher Barnwell as Essequibo ended the day on 156 for five, needing 37 more runs to complete an emphatic victory.

At the close of day two, Adams had hammered his way to an unbeaten 95 and with him was Mark Williams on an unbeaten 34.
