Essequibo reached stumps 156-9 from 49 overs after they bundled Berbice for 94 in 38.4 overs. Left-arm spinners Ricardo Adams and Nigel Deodat were outstanding as both bagged five-wicket hauls. Adams was a thorn in Berbice with 5-25 from 14 overs while Deodat got 5-42 from his 14 overs. Seam-bowling all-rounder Quentin Sampson supported Adams with 3-12 from 5.4 overs while Garfield Phillips (1-15) and impressive pacer Neiland Codogan (1-27) were also among the wickets. Shamar Angel (34) top-scored for Berbice while Seon Hetmyer, older brother of Shimron Hetmyer, got 18. Deodat (15) and skipper Junior Sinclair (10) were the other men to reach double figures.
