Having got off to a positive start, Jamaica top scorer Donovan Pagon is determined to pile the pressure on the Leeward Islands when play resumes at 10 a.m. at Sabina Park today.

An unbeaten knock of 106 from Pagon put the leaders in a good position in their third-round Regional Four-Day clash. The 29-year-old, who was left out of the squad last season due to a dip in form, hit three sixes and 10 fours during his 269-ball innings, which served as the cornerstone for Jamaica's total of 220-3 at the end of yesterday's first day.

"At this point, the aim is to try and pile up some runs, try to bat once, and put them under some pressure," said Pagon.

"I am just looking to come tomorrow and build on what I have and try to get 150 or more," he added.

Brendan Nash 40, Danza Hyatt 26, and Simon Jackson three are the batsmen that have been dismissed so far.

Captain Tamar Lambert, not out 26, will resume batting with Pagon, who was scoring his fourth first-class century, and four runs shy of his all-time best.

Winning the toss and electing to bat, Jamaica first lost Jackson with the score on nine. The left-hander, who has made a wretched start to season so far having notched up scores of 18, nine, naught and 22, heading into the match, failed to negotiate a length delivery and was caught and bowled by fast bowler Nelson Bolan on the follow through.

The dismissal of Jackson brought Pagon to the crease and along with another out-of-form batsman Danza Hyatt, went about doing a repair job.

"It was an okay innings I got two chances and fortunately I capitalised on them," said Pagon, who was dropped on naught and 68.

Leeward Islands captain, Gavin Wallace, said his team fell two wickets short of their target on the day, but they were not overly concerned.

"We were looking at least five wickets before the end of they but we fell just short," he said.

"But we are looking to bowl them out for just about 300, 320 the most, and then have a bat."
