Earlier, CCC, resuming on 279-6, added a further 96 with overnight batsman Kyle Corbin making 102 before retiring out.

When on 98, Corbin played a ball to the backward point region and as he was turning at the non-striker’s end, his bat got tangled between his legs and he fell on his right side, dislocating his shoulder in the process.

The ball eventually went for four to complete his century. The right-hander faced 204 balls and struck 11 fours and a six. Opener Johann Jeremiah made 84 and Shaqkere Parris 56.

Bowling for Guyana Harpy Eagles, Ronaldo AliMohamed took 3-56, Veerasammy Permaul 3-87 and Shamar Joseph 3-115.
