Victoria 300 for 7 dec and 156 for 6 (Sutherland 66, Guthrie 4-38) lead Queensland 219 (Wildermuth 40, Boland 4-47) by 237 runs
Two crucial late wickets set up an absorbing final day in the Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Queensland.
Queensland’s Bazley is out due to a hamstring injury, but Guthrie has performed well, taking 4 for 38 from 10 overs.
“To keep them to a lead of 230 is good for us,” Guthrie said. “To have them six down at stumps is a good effort.”
The visitors resumed on 106 for 5 and made a strong start before Victoria’s bowlers limited their first-innings advantage.
Sutherland played an outstanding innings, hitting nine fours and two sixes off 77 deliveries. Kellaway’s aggressive play was cut short by Swepson.
“It’s definitely turned into a bit of a new-ball wicket.. we’re going to need to be really positive tomorrow morning,” Sutherland said.
