Roach got in the crease. The pair of Devonish and Richards carried the score to 154 when Stoute once again factored into the dismissal, when he caught Devonish, who had a second innings knock of 67, on the boundary off the bowling of Ronaldo Callender. Shakeem Blades took the next wicket when he bowled L. Worrell in the next over and the score having moved onto 163. Diamondshire's final wicket fell when M. Griffith was dismissed LBW having not gotten off the mark, giving the visitors a lead of 17 runs with Windward still to play their second innings.
