On day two of the intriguing contest between Nevis and Montserrat, being played at the ET Willet Park, Montserrat having made 243 runs, reduced Nevis to 142 all out.
However, late on the second day, the home team was fighting tooth and nail to stay in the game and thanks to a five-wicket haul by Windies under 19 leg spinner, Jaden Carmichael, Montserrat was on 135 for 8, but still with a challenging lead of 236 runs.
The bad news for Nevis is that Adelvin Phillip won’t be able to bat, as he is out of the remainder of the game with a finger broken in two places.
The final day today will be a very exciting one
