ST GEORGE'S (CMC):

Windward Islands captain Rawl Lewis struck a fine, unbeaten century, while Liam Sebastian fell just short of another as Guyana's bowlers were put to the sword on the third day of their first round Carib Beer Series match at Tanteen cricket ground yesterday.

Lewis hit 101 and Sebastian cracked 90, to propel the hosts to 392 for eight declared, after they resumed at their overnight 85 for six. At the close, Guyana had been reduced to 35 for one, still some 357 runs adrift of their first innings target.

Lewis and Sebastian formed the backbone of the Windwards innings, adding 176 for the seventh wicket.

The 32-year Lewis hammered six fours and a six in his unbeaten 101 from 306 minutes and 253 balls
