South Australia 5 for 276 (Hunt 71, McSweeney 66*) vs Western Australia
South Australia recovered from a forgettable 15 minutes to assume control of their Sheffield Shield clash with ladder-leaders Western Australia.
WA won the toss and sent the winless visitors in on a WACA wicket that was expected to offer plenty for the bowlers.
The hosts could only muster a run-out on the stroke of lunch though, the Redbacks then losing just one wicket in the middle session to be 2 for 177 at tea.
Normal service resumed though, Nielsen and McSweeney putting on 96 as shadows crept across the WACA.
Earlier Hunt and Daniel Drew were cruising before Drew was caught on the crease by Kelly in WA’s only bright spot of the middle session.
Hilton Cartwright’s direct hit run-out of Jake Weatherald on the final ball of the first session was the only other source of joy for WA before tea.
Kelly was the pick of the bowlers, with Cameron Gannon struggling, Lance Morris going for more than four an over and Aaron Hardie and Corey Rocchiccioli wicketless in 30 overs between them.
