Victoria 43 for 2 (Harris 26*) trail Queensland 172 (Renshaw 59, Perry 5-33, O’Neill 5-51) by 129 runs
Perry and O’Neill were the stars of the show on Friday. Queensland reached 16 without loss from eight overs before O’Neill snared 3 for 0 in the space of six deliveries.
O’Neill started his rampage by clean bowling Bryce Street for two when the opener shouldered arms to a wildly swinging delivery.
Angus Lovell was caught at second slip for a duck three balls later, and Jack Clayton became O’Neill’s third victim of the over when he was clean bowled.
Clayton, who like Street had shouldered arms, stood at the crease in disbelief for several seconds after watching the ball swing into the stumps from way outside off.
Renshaw did his best to steady the ship, and Steketee pummelled some handy runs. But there was no stopping O’Neill, who added Jack Wildermuth and Mitch Swepson to his list of victims.
Perry was just as good on the way to his career-best bowling figures in a first-class match. The 24-year-old snared the key scalps of Ben McDermott and Jimmy Peirson in the space of three balls as Queensland crashed to 5-56. Perry removed Renshaw later in the innings.
