On a rain-hit day in Hobart, the hosts made inroads into Victoria's top order, reducing them to 4 for 169. Apart from Rob Quiney who was out for 2 off the second ball of the game, all the Victoria top order got starts, getting past 20, before falling. Pacer Andrew Fekete returned the most effective figures with the experimental pink ball, taking 2 for 49.
Just when it looked like Tasmania might shoot out the visitors cheaply, Alex Keath and Peter Handscomb provided resistance. The pair added 67 runs in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand, to take their team from 4 for 102 to 4 for 169 at the end of the day. Only 48 overs were possible due to the weather.
