Victoria leads South Australia in the Sheffield Shield, with Boland and O`Neill excelling in bowling performances.

Victoria holds a commanding lead over South Australia, leading by 48 runs at stumps on day two of their Sheffield Shield match. Victoria posted a first innings total of 285, while South Australia managed a narrow response of 283. The standout performers for Victoria were bowlers Scott Boland and Fergus O`Neill, who collectively claimed nine wickets, with Boland taking four and O`Neill securing five. Nathan McSweeney`s resilient 60 was a bright spot for South Australia, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled against the Victorian bowlers.

As the match progresses, Victoria`s openers, Marcus Harris and Campbell Kellaway, remain unbeaten on 17 and 23 respectively, setting a promising foundation for their innings. In another match, Queensland`s Michael Neser showcased his bowling prowess by taking six wickets, leaving Tasmania trailing by 194 runs after following on. Tasmania was dismissed for 161 in their first innings, while Queensland set a daunting target of 425.

Meanwhile, New South Wales faces challenges against Western Australia, struggling at 3-17 after bowling out their opponents for 196. Young opener Sam Konstas is under scrutiny for his aggressive batting style, which has yet to yield consistent results. For more updates, visit Cricket News and check live scores at Cricket Scores.
