Scorecard

A series of lower order partnerships allowed Victoria to set Western Australia 362 to win the Sheffield Shield match at the MCG. The Warriors lost Marcus Harris to Jayde Herrick before the close, which arrived at 1 for 22.

WA had hoped for early breakthroughs and a slimmer chase when day three began, and the Bushrangers slipped to 5 for 80 then 6 for 145 after the loss of Rob Quiney, to keep the window open.

However the wicketkeeper Matthew Wade maintained his outstanding run with the bat to carve out 60, and the allrounder Glenn Maxwell made a fighting 72 to frustrate the visitors.
