Utom Munroe removed Damian Waldron without scoring but Terry Frazer and David Ragmangal scored 39 and 26 runs respectively.

Frazer struck six fours and Rajmangal five before they were undone by medium pacer, Leacock.

Daniel Phillips (15) and Travis Gilbert (19) chipped in at the bottom with handy cameos.

The match, which continues today at 10:00h, was twice stopped yesterday because of rain.
