Sheffield Shield round-up: Ellis bags another six, Harper hits half-century on return

Tasmania 3 for 63 trail New South Wales 195 (Ellis 6-53) by 132 runs

Scorecard

Nathan Ellis took his second consecutive six-wicket haul as the bowlers dominated on the opening day between Tasmania and New South Wales in Hobart. Ellis' 6 for 43 helped bundle out the runaway Shield leaders for 195, but they fought back in the final session as Sean Abbott took three wickets.

Ellis claimed his first of the day when Daniel Solway was given lbw to a ball that may have gone past leg stump then continued to work his way through the New South Wales batting. Nick Larkin's 45 was the top score and he fell when he nicked a very wide delivery from Gabe Bell who collected the other four wickets.

Abbott helped even up the ledger before stumps, starting with a diving caught-and-bowled to remove Alex Doolan when an inside edge ballooned off the pad back to the bowler. Jordan Silk was lbw playing no shot and Jake Doran edged a drive into his stumps.

Victoria 292 (Maddinson 66, Harper 62, Harris 59, Mennie 4-54, Worrall 4-56) v South Australia

Scorecard

Sam Harper struck a half-century on his return from the concussion he suffered during the Big Bash on an evenly-fought opening day in Adelaide. Harper's half-century lifted Victoria to 292 after a middle-order wobble which had seen them lose 5 for 53 from being 1 for 137. Daniel Worrall and Joe Mennie took four wickets apiece.

Half-centuries from Marcus Harris and the prolific Nic Maddinson had set a strong base for Victoria who are continuing to push for a chance to defend their title in the final. However, things fell away after Harris picked out point off Wes Agar. Peter Handscomb fell cheaply when he edged a lifter to second slip and Maddinson was caught at long leg in extraordinary fashion when Mennie fell over before the ball reached him, but he managed to retain the composure to hold the catch. A seventh-wicket stand of 90 between Harper and Peter Siddle steadied the innings before another late slide saw Victoria's last four wickets go for 12 runs.
