A half century from former national under-19 player, Richie Looknauth ensured that Everest maintained the upper hand with a 162-run lead over Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) heading into the second day of the GISE/Star Party Rental/ Trophy Stall First-Division Two-day tournament at Everest Cricket Club yesterday.
After GNIC won the toss and inserted Everest, Looknauth stroked a defining 70 from 114 balls consisting of six fours and one six to see the host climb to 256 in 73.5 overs.
