Bermuda fought back magnificently on a rain-hit second day of their

Intercontinental Cup clash against Kenya at the Gymkhana ground in Nairobi,

snapping up the hosts' last seven first innings wickets for 80 runs and dismissing

them for 205.

Bermuda had crumbled for 133 on the first day but began their second innings only

72 runs in arrears thanks to the heroics of pace bowlers Saleem Mukuddem and

Ryan Steede.

After the entire morning session was wiped out by heavy rain, Bermuda came out

after lunch firing on all cylinders.

Mukuddem claimed three more wickets, including the key scalp of Kenya skipper

Steve Tikolo, to add to the three he grabbed on the opening day and finished with

superb figures of six for 50 off 14 overs.

Steede also played a huge part in the fightback, claiming three for 41 off 14.1

overs.

Dwayne Leverock was the other wicket taker, finishing with one for 60 off 15

overs.

Bermuda's day was only marred in fading light in the penultimate over of the day

when they lost the wickets of opener Stephen Outerbridge for 14 and

nightwatchman Leverock for nought.

Kwame Steede (3) and David Hemp will resume on Tuesday morning.
