BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Opener Shayne Moseley struck his fifth first-class hundred and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican snatched two late wickets to trigger a Windward Islands Volcanoes collapse as Barbados Pride took control of their final round contest in the West Indies Championship.
Resuming Thursday's second morning at Queen's Park Oval on 48 without loss in reply to Volcanoes' first innings of 237 all out, Pride were led by the left-hander Moseley's 112 as they were eventually dismissed for 227.
Behind by 10 runs, Pride then scythed through the Volcanoes top order before Warrican grabbed two wickets in the third over before the close, the innings ending on 14 for four.
At the Guyana National Stadium, leaders Guyana Harpy Eagles were forced to trail Leeward Islands Hurricanes by 125 runs on first innings after the visitors were dismissed for 247.
In their second turn at the crease, the hosts finished on 48 for one, still behind by 77 runs heading into Friday's penultimate day.
At the Brian Lara Stadium also in Trinidad, Jamaica Scorpions were staring at yet another possible defeat after following on by 177 runs and closing on 199 for five — a lead of only 22 runs.
The Scorpions extended their poor run in the tournament after resuming the morning on five for one, dismissed for 125 in their first innings with medium pacer Tion Webster snatching five for 36.
The innings was reeling at 50 for seven before Derval Green (39) and Jeavor Royal (27) combined in an eighth-wicket partnership of 62 to help the total past the 100-run mark.
Trailing by 177 runs, Scorpions were in early trouble at eight for one in the second over of their second innings before Test vice-captain Jermaine Blackwood (68) and Leroy Lugg (66) belted half-centuries to bail their side out of trouble.
Blackwood punched nine fours off 137 balls in just under three hours while Lugg blasted nine fours and three sixes in an entertaining 57-ball cameo, the pair posting 112 for the second wicket.
When Lugg edged a booming drive at Phillip and was taken behind, Blackwood put on a further 50 for the third wicket with Carlos Brown (16) before Scorpions collapsed, losing three wickets for 29 runs.
