Trailing by 21 runs on first innings, the Trinidadians batted with more assurance in the second, closing on 343-9. Veteran Jason Mohammed has hit an unbeaten century, and he received support from Kyle Hope (67) and Akeal Hosein (55), while Ashley Nurse has taken four wickets to date.

The Leeward Islands were in control of their rain-affected match at Providence. In their first innings, the Leewards closed Day Three on 355-7, with half-centuries from Montcin Hodge (98), Amir Jangoo (90) and Jahmar Hamilton (67). Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul has taken three wickets for Guyana so far.

In a chaotic penultimate day's play at St George's, a total of 21 wickets fell. Marquino Mindley took 4-48 and Jamie Merchant 3-36 to dismiss the Windwards for 217 all out, veteran opener Devon Smith topscoring with 72. Leading by 164 on first innings, Jamaica captain John Campbell decided not to enforce the follow-on, but batting again, the visitors were skittled out for an embarrassing 60 all out by Ryan John (4-26), Preston McSween (3-26) and Kenneth Dember, who took three wickets for nine runs. Chasing 225 for victory on today's final day, the Windwards closed on a precarious 51-3.

This is probably the only cricket not affected by coronavirus...yet. Maybe because cases in Caribbean countries are still in single digits.

Leaders Barbados took control of their match while 18 wickets fell on the second day's play at Providence, when they shot out defending champions Guyana for a paltry 55 all out. Pacers Kemar Roach (5-20) and Jason Holder (4-24) did the damage, while Shimron Hetmyer topscored with 14. Leading by 119 on first innings, Barbados made 210 all out in their second, captain Kraigg Brathwaite leading the way with 84, against Keemo Paul's 4-52.

Trinidad and Tobago were in a strong position to push for victory at the halfway stage of their match at the Brian Lara stadium. Jyd Goolie hit 128 and Imran Khan 84, as the Trinidadians piled up 409 all out, against Preston McSween (5-60) and Kenneth Dember (3-125). Pacer Anderson Phillip took 4-53 and there were two wickets each for spinners Khan and Akeal Hosein, as the Windward Islands were bowled out for 179 all out. Veteran Devon Smith topscored with 67. The Windwards were asked to follow on.

In the bottom-of-the-table clash at the Viv Richards stadium, Jamaica were in command going into today's third day. Jermaine Blackwood hit 196 not out and John Campbell, returning after retiring hurt, 105 not out, to lead the Jamaicans to 413-4 for a first innings lead of 153 so far.
