Victoria 1 for 124 (Harris 67*) path Western Australia 466 (Bancroft 100, Short 87, Whiteman 82, Cartwright 70) by 342 runs
The pair placed on 104 for the primary wicket earlier than Pucovski, who struck 4 boundaries and a six from 117 balls, was caught behind when fending a brief leg-facet ball simply earlier than stumps. He had earlier appeared to be trapped in entrance throughout Jhye Richardson’s second over however the umpire’s finger stayed down.
Harris’ mini-milestone continues his strong early Shield kind – he scored 85 and 42 in a draw towards South Australia final week.
The left-hander hit 11 fours and dominated his union with Pucovski, who was persevering with his first-class comeback after ongoing concussion points.
Earlier, Western Australia’s batting tail wagged as Short whacked a profession-finest 87 and Hilton Cartwright made 70.
WA resumed on Tuesday at 5 for 290 and Cartwright quickly posted his nineteenth first-class half-century. He discovered help from Corey Rocchiccioli, who struck three fours and a six in his 27, and the pair placed on a useful 56-run stand for the sixth wicket.
Short, batting at No. 8, cashed in with a late flurry – his profession-excessive knock included seven fours and three sixes as WA set an imposing complete.
Spinner Todd Murphy (3-104) led the wicket-takers for Victoria with Mitchell Perry taking 2 for 59 and legspinning debutant Ruwantha Kellapotha claiming 2 for 122.
