The visitors were asked to bat first, Eagles left arm fast bowler Rilwan Mohammed produced his best bowling figures of the season to dismiss the top order on his way to claiming 5-51 off his 11 overs.

It was a brilliant display of swing bowling at pace, only a last wicket stand of 32 between Dahron Pitt (29) and Byron Smith (seven) helped the visitors to a total of 121 all out.
