Scorecard

Sean Clingeleffer and Damien Wright breathed some life into a sombre Tasmania innings with a 98-run seventh-wicket partnership against Queensland at Bellerive Oval. At one stage the Tigers looked like they would struggle to pass 200 after fighting for every run.

Michael Di Venuto collected a hard-earned half-century to walk his side out of trouble after falling to 2 for 29, but when he departed the innings appeared in danger of toppling. However, Clingeleffer, who scored 73 from 86 balls, and Wright (41) took Tasmania past the follow-on mark until both departed late in the day.

Andy Bichel struck early with the wicket of Travis Birt and returned to dismiss both Clingeleffer and Wright while Joe Dawes finished with two. Adam Griffith collected his fifth wicket in the first session as Queensland added seven to their overnight total.
