A five wicket-haul by left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican helped Barbados Pride share the spoils at the end of the first day of their third round match against the Jamaica Scorpions in the West Indies Championship on Wednesday.Playing at Sabina Park in Jamaica’s capital Kingston, the 31-year-old Warrican finished with five for 62 as Jamaica Scorpions were bowled out for 269.In reply, Barbados reached 15 without loss, 254 runs in arrears heading into Thursday’s second day at the storied venue.Sent in earlier, Scorpions were carried by a career-best unbeaten 97 from Romarine Morris, while opener Carlos Brown and Test left-hander Kirk McKenzie both chipped in with 40 runs apiece.Chadwick Walton (5), who made a century in the last round, was an early casualty when he fended at a short ball from fast bowler Jair McAllister (3-69) for wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich to take a one-handed catch diving in front of first slip.Brown, who struck seven fours off 105 balls and McKenzie, who faced 79 deliveries and counted five fours, then put on a crucial 75 for the second wicket to get Scorpions to lunch with no further loss at 71 for one.
