        both Harwood and Inness looked surprisingly composed
       They extended the Victorian lead from 100 runs to 128 runs in that
        partnership
       A more than handy lead in the context of this match, but one that
        could've been bigger had it not been for a middle order collapse
        from Victoria
       One would expect New South Wales to overhaul this lead, the big
        question being whether or not they can set a defendable fourth
        innings target

ME Waugh 35* (63b 5x4) MJ Clarke 23* (61b 3x4)

       That completes the day's play
       Victoria once again ending the day in a strong position, still 18
        runs in the lead, with only five NSW second innings wickets
        remaining
       There was a fightback by New South Wales in the second session,
        Stuart MacGill and Steve Waugh ripping the heart out of the
        Victorian middle order
       But that was quickly thrown away in the final session, with the
        Blues' top-order falling like ten pins, not helped by a strange
        decision to send specialist bowler Nathan Bracken at first drop
       Currently Michael Clarke and Mark Waugh have added a little bit of
        respectability to the New South Wales' second innings
       But with this pair being the last of the specialist batsmen, there
        remains much work to do tomorrow if the home side is to get back
        into this match
       The most likely outcome remains a Victorian victory at some stage
        tomorrow

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Welcome to the third day of this top of the table Pura Cup clash
        between traditional rivals New South Wales and Victoria
       With the match two days old, Victoria find themselves well and
        truly on top and will be pushing for a victory sometime today
       But the home side is not without a chance, still with five wickets
        in hand, they have almost overhauled the first innings deficit,
        and should be optimistic about pushing the match into tomorrow,
        with a target to bowl to
       A lovely warm and sunny day here at the Sydney Cricket Ground, we
        should be in for another full day's play
