The Jamaica Scorpions ended the first day of the ongoing Cricket West Indies Regional Four-Day tournament on 320-8 against the Guyana Jaguars at Providence yesterday.

Defending champions Jaguars won the toss and sent Scorpions to take strike after overnight rain provided the pitch with moisture, allowing them to face a full 90 overs in the day that closed 40 minutes after the scheduled time.

Scorpions were boosted by an unbeaten stand of 90 for the ninth wicket between Derval Green and Dennis Bulli.
