Scorecard

Darren Lehmann slammed 104 off just 106 balls, while Graham Manou made a quickfire 91 as South Australia completely dominated the third day of their Pura Cup match against Tasmania at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Both batsmen continued the fine work that Cameron Borgas had started on the second day, as the Redbacks finally amassed 638, a first-innings lead of 217. By close of play, Tasmania had managed 1 for 30, still 187 in arrears.

Resuming at 3 for 251, South Australia got their run-fest going from the start. Borgas, unbeaten on 106, stretched his score to 140 before being dismissed, but Lehmann ensured that Tasmania got no respite, adding 87 of the 131 runs scored while he was at the crease. Lehmann struck 15 fours in his knock, and when he was dismissed, Manou and the rest of the lower order continued the onslaught. Manou's 91 came off only 86 balls with ten boundaries, while Callum Ferguson (65 off 67) was similarly ruthless.

Four of the five bowlers used by Tasmania went for more than 100, although Ben Hilfenhaus and Darren McNees, both right-arm medium-fast bowlers, had three wickets to show for their efforts. In reply, Tasmania lost Tim Paine for 17, and ended the day with plenty of work to do to avoid defeat.
