Smith destroys...

a frustrating ninth wicket stand of 36 before off-spinner Chaim Holder bowled the left-arm spinner to prompt the declaration.

Pride endured an early setback when left-handed opener Shayne Moseley was caught behind for a duck off Smith in the second over, and they were wobbling on nine for two when pacer Shamar Joseph trapped Zachary McCaskie lbw for four in the next over.

Pride were 11 for two at lunch, and Beaton and Permaul combined to carve up their middle order, ensuring there was to be no comeback story.

After Brooks defied with Drakes for an hour, Beaton had him caught at gully, and triggered a slump in which four wickets fell for eight in the span of 28 balls – including the scalps of Nicholas Kirton, Shamar Springer, and Pride captain Shane Dowrich, all for ducks.

Smith returned to clean up the tail and formalised the result when he got Keon Harding caught at gully for seven, and two balls later, he bowled newcomer Jair McAllister for four.
