Demerara were 64 runs adrift of first innings points against Essequibo yesterday at stumps on Day One after their bowlers again displayed exceptional talent at the Everest Cricket Ground.
Essequibo managed to take three wickets, but face a stiff task in keeping their Guyana Cricket Board senior Inter-County Four-Day fixture alive today.
Essequibo batted first and made 167 all-out off 48.3 overs.
