BASSETERRE – Nkrumah Bonner and Jahmar Hamilton struck half-centuries to weather a robust Barbados Pride start, and stabilise Leeward Islands Hurricanes on the opening day of the first round of matches in the Regional Four-Day Championship.

Choosing to bat first at Warner Park, Hurricanes recovered from a precarious position of 39 for three to reach the close on 210 for five, with Bonner unbeaten on 71 and Hamilton scoring 65.

English County pro Chesney Hughes chipped in with 31 while captain Kieran Powell made 26.

Captain Kevin Stoute was the leading bowler, snaring three for 24 off 20 overs in a superb display of right-arm seam. (CMC)
