Permaul grabs 5 for 40

Guyana Jaguars finished the first day of their sixth-round fixture in the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional first-class tournament against the struggling Windwards Islands Volcanoes in a dominant position, after another exceptional bowling performance by left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

The Jaguars, after Permaul’s 5 for 40 routed the Volcanoes for 117, were 78 for 2, at stumps, trailing by a mere 39 runs.

Skipper Leon Johnson had earlier won the toss and invited the visitors to take first strike.
