 Yes, it's cricket time now on the Sports Max on round six of the cricket West Indies regional four-day championship. Let's start our day to recap from Sabina Park where defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles are in firm control against the Jamaica Scorpions. Gerard Morrisili is live on location. Yeah, thank you Lance and the firm control. They are in the have a firm lead right now of 271. Jamaica Scorpions still batting in their first innings 271. They trail by the score so far. Guyana who resumed their innings on 278 for seven at the start of the of the day. They ended on 424 all out led by 101 not out by their captain Tevin Imlak Kamal Saveri. He continued his innings but he was removed 455 before they were dismissed and the first hour it wasn't really much of an attacking move by the Guyana Harpy Eagles. Batsman was after losing savory Imlak took firm control of the innings and he started to push the scoring and got to his second his third first-class hundred and what a day was in with the bat and the ball for both for the Harpy Eagles and when they went into bowl they got a really early breakthrough with the fourth ball of the innings to Isaiah Toran getting rid of a call Carlos Brown who was nicked down well who was LBW and well nick behind and it was a really good catch in slip. So from there though that they really weren't able to recover the scorpions. It did look like a uphill battle for them scoring this hundred this 424 runs that they trail by at the start of the innings because their biggest score in the first innings for this season up until this point was 372 which was two matches ago and it didn't seem as if they would be they would be able with all the batting troubles that they've had would be able to get to that score in during the day or during the first innings especially not in my books I didn't think they were capable only because of how poor their batting has been this season and plus to this Guyana Harpy Eagles bowling attack has been the best that they've that they've faced throughout the season two of the spinners who led the attack they obviously won Verasame Permol the most successful first-class bowler in the Caribbean in the western east in this part of the world and then Gudekesh Moti who's currently in the test team around the western setup as well with lots of experience and they both capitalized on today Verasame Permol he was the main enforcer bowling tandem with his partner Gudekesh Moti five for 54 he has so far brilliant bowling spelled from him 20 odd overs he's bowled so far and I'm pretty sure he will continue tomorrow if they don't have more if they don't have to bowl much much much further on tomorrow morning but Verasame is with me let me have a chat with him quickly Verasame really good bowling performance from you today when you came out here 424 do you think you're really in a good position to go for a win from the start yeah definitely um anything over 300 runs in in force last week it it proved to be very difficult for the teams and um I haven't said that with 424 on the board we are in a chance and it's sure that and the capability or batting I think the lower order of the batting has been dominant through the the tournament um I think savory and and the the captain lead from the front I think both 100 and even Moti with a partnership with savory I haven't said it um think bowling wise we know that the wicket looking the games them um the spinner was being the most successful on this sabina park we get um and we capitalize on it and jump like you said earlier that Jamaica batting wasn't up to standard from the start and at the tournament and we look for capitalized on that as well yeah and do you think though that they would have gotten too many runs so far 153 for nine they are right now the scorpions but at one point it looked as if they were not going to make it past 120 do you think though that they got too many runs um well it's cricket um you know there's always a partnership here and there and at the same time I think we we did our part as bowling there's a partnership but I haven't said that with 424 on the board um we look to get the the last wicket early tomorrow and see how it goes from there you have now 630 wickets in first class cricket 33 5 wicket holes what is it like playing this form in the game and dominating that as much as you did well the entire playing for the cricket um over the years we've been very successful playing for the cricket um I love love it um it tests the patience to the character everything and I just love being playing for the cricket yeah and I was 271 runs now uh slim well a really good lead actually one make it in hand the first innings for scorpions do you think you can make them back again tomorrow morning and go on and win the game well um hopefully you as a as a group as a team we make the decision and come back tomorrow thank you so much very thank you so yeah very sorry for him out there uh the scorpions without a lot of work to do he pulled really well today uh used the picture well the batsman were almost clueless when they came to him Pete Samo was the one who took him on a little bit but then in the end he was able to get salmon back for all of the their licks I guess that you would say he got uh off of him but it was a really good day for uh the guy and a harpy egos Jamaica scorpions they ended on 153 for nine ad stumps Romain Morris is not out on 21 marquino milling on 13 and it was a a good showing from them uh because Romain Morris actually uh retired hurt earlier in the innings and then coming on to the end of play he came back and uh have Kevin with me now the captain Kevin uh tell me about the day's play so far what do you think about the the position of the game obviously we're in a very strong position um coming from six there for six and coming minus four four hundred and twenty runs you know it was excellent from the players um make sure a lot of character you know for a fairly inexperienced side and um yeah I think we're in a very good position uh position uh hopefully we can get in the next weekend and you know move the game forward yeah tell me about your innings at the side of the day you weren't very aggressive with your approach but after losing savory you really took command of the innings because I guess you had about three wickets left in hand after come out was out uh but tell me about your approach and how you were able to push on from there yeah I mean obviously um it's all about partnerships you know when you're when you're batting and see if you took the aggressive route you know in that partnership and it was important that you know I I took most of the strike in the back end and um you obviously as a batter you need to take responsibility so yeah yeah and I'll tell me about the position now are you going to be looking to put them into back again if you get that early weekend in the morning still still debating that all right well we look forward to seeing you thank you so much that yeah so that's it so from savannah park here diana harpy eagles with a 271 runs lead got scorpions
