       Western Australia lead by 94 runs with 10 second innings wickets in
        hand and one day to play

Match State: Stumps - Day 3

       It will be difficult for either side to get an outright result
        tomorrow, but we'll see what tactics Langer applies tomorrow
        morning.
       Langer has played a fine innings for 81 not out this afternoon
        after a tentative start
       Earlier today NSW took first innings points thanks primarily to a
        superb 182 not out from Simon Katich.
       We'll be back for the final day of this Pura Cup game at 11am
        tomorrow Sydney time (0000 GMT). See you then.
       We're at the Sydney Cricket Ground for the fourth and final day of
        the Pura Cup game between New South Wales and Western Australia
       WA are 1/154 in their second innings, a lead of 94.
       While a draw is the most likely result at this point of time, the
        initiative in the morning session is firmly in the hands of WA
        captain Justin Langer.
       Langer is unbeaten on 81, and his partner, nightwatchman and
        Scarborough clubmate Beau Casson, is on 17.
       Conditions are cloudy today, with a forecast of possible afternoon
        or evening showers. There is a brisk south-easterly blowing.
       Umpires Steve Davis and Darrel Hair enter the field followed by the
        New South Wales team.
       New South Wales captain Steve Waugh will open the bowling at the
        Paddington End, bowling into the breeze. Langer is on strike.
