Leaders Jamaica will have it all to do today and tomorrow if they are to claim any points from their eighth round West Indies Cricket Board Four Day Championship clash with the Leeward Islands at Sabina Park.

After dismissing their opponents for 221 on Friday's first day Jamaica were shot out for 220, two runs short of first innings honours.

The Leeward Islands, who are fifth in the seven-team championship will today be looking to post an imposing second innings total as they push for an outright win, or a total that will ensure that they secure a draw. At close yesterday they were 53-2.

"Set 221 we should have got that total, but the wicket surprised us. We were expecting a better batting track, but instead it seamed and spun. But having said that, we batted poorly and didn't apply ourselves. We have to now look at things positively and realise that on at least two occasions in the past, including our first match this season against them, we lost first innings and returned to win outright," said Jamaica captain, Tamar Lambert.

Resuming at 47-1, and needing another 175 runs to claim first innings, Jamaica were denied in their quest by some steady seam bowling from veteran Wilden Cornwall who ended with figures of 5-37.

The 35-year-old, who at one stage in his career was a candidate for West Indies selection, dismissed Lambert (16), Wavell Hinds (0), wicketkeeper Keith Hibbert (0), Nikita Miller (3), in a successful pre- and post-lunch spell, which saw the Jamaicans collapsing from a relatively comfortable position of 118-2 to 161-7.

Top scorer

In fact, had it not been for a 32-run eight-wicket stand between David Bernard Jr, who ended on 51 not out, and leg-spinner Odean Brown, who got 21, and a 27-run tenth wicket stand between Bernard Jr and last man, Gavin Wallace, who made three, Jamaica would fallen for a score below 200.

Opener Brenton Parchment, who resumed overnight at 22 was Jamaica's top scorer with a patient and defiant 75, which included six boundaries and two sixes.

Pacers Gavin Tonge, 2-31, and Tonitto Willett, 2-40, and off-spinner, Omari Banks,1-40, were the Leewards' other wicket-takers.

"It was a pretty good comeback for us to bowl out Jamaica, and for that I am really proud of the guys," said Leewards first-time captain, Steve Liburd. "The game, however, is still not over, as we have lost two wickets, and will have to bat pretty well tomorrow to ensure that leave Jamaica with a positive result."

Cornwall, batting at number four, and number-three batsman, Shane Jeffers, are both not out on eight and will resume batting for the Leewards this morning.
