Moises Henriques and Peter Nevill combined for the highest partnership for New South Wales against Queensland as bat dominated ball for the second consecutive day of the Sheffield Shield match at the SCG.
In enervating heat, the home captain Henriques collared 265, his highest score, while adding 291 with Nevill who finished unbeaten on 143.
Their union surpassed the 272 put on by Don Bradman and Alan Kippax at the SCG in 1930, when Bradman was on his way to the then world record first-class score of 452.
Queensland were left with a little less than a session to bat after the declaration, and were guided to stumps without loss by Peter Forrest and Joe Burns, albeit after evading some concerted shouts for lbw by New South Wales.
More troubling was a blow on the helmet to Daniel Hughes while fielding at short leg. Momentarily stunned, he was assisted from the field by the NSW doctor John Orchard and was assessed for a possible concussion.
