Barbados
Days 2 and 3

The game is evenly poised heading into the third and final day, with Trinidad and Tobago leading by 230 runs with 3 wickets in hand.

On day two, Trinidad and Tobago pushed on from 102/3 at the start to 280 all out. This due largely to scores of 99 from Tishan Maraj and Imran Jan, as Corey Collymore claimed 4 wickets. The two were the only batsmen on the day to reach double figures, and Dinesh Ramdin (7) was the next highest scorer with 3 ducks were registered (Babwah, Kelly, Lynch).

Barbados then went to the close at 120/1 from 35 overs.

The third day saw Dale Richards and Kurt Wilkinson resuming on 54 and 21 respectively. The sway of power would be dramatic, as chinaman bowler Dave Mohammed spun the game T&T's way. His spell of 7/49 (a career best) ensured Barbados would settle for 206 all out and his team take a 74-run lead on first innings.

In the second innings, Trinidad and Tobago found batting rather more difficult. Only captain Daren Ganga (54) and Dinesh Ramdin (26) were among the runs and at the close the score read 156/7.
