South Australia 132 and 232 (Carey 90, Lehmann 58, Steketee 3-39, Neser 3-51) lead Queensland 159 (McAndrew 3-25, Doggett 3-41, Buckingham 3-58) by 205 runs
After a chaotic opening day on the Adelaide Oval when 17 wickets fell, the Redbacks have been in a position to halt the carnage and power their means in entrance of the Bulls on Saturday.
They misplaced 5 for 18 after Carey was dismissed 10 runs quick of his seventh first-class century – scooping into the palms of Jimmy Peirson – to maintain Queensland within the contest.
South Australia have been out for 232 of their second innings, setting the bottom-of-the-table Queensland a chase of 206.
Carey’s knock off 116 balls, coming after he made 49 of the South Australia’s 132 of their first innings, was timely forward of Australia’s upcoming Check tour of New Zealand.
The 32-year-old has been under his greatest with the bat because the notorious stumping of Jonny Bairstow throughout final 12 months’s Ashes and Australia will probably be hoping Carey returns to his greatest in opposition to the Black Caps.
The Redbacks’ second innings ended seven minutes earlier than stumps have been resulting from be referred to as, with Nathan McAndrew blasting an unbeaten 24 to push the lead over the 200 mark.
Younger South Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been touted as a future Check participant by the likes of Ricky Ponting, was out for 1 after being dismissed for a fourth-ball duck within the first innings.
Queensland will probably be hoping for giant knocks from Marnus Labuschange, who’s captaining the Bulls in a Defend match for the primary time, and fellow Australian batter Matt Renshaw to present them an opportunity of securing their second win of the season.
