New South Wales fighting back thanks to a solid knock by Greg Mail
and a very entertaining one from Michael Bevan, after some fine
batting by Ricky Ponting and Damien Wright earlier in the day.
The Blues, however, still need 187 runs to avoid the follow-on.
Play resumes tomorrow morning at 10.30am Sydney time. We'll see you
then.

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Tasmania have a lead of 45 with ten second-innings wickets in hand
They already have first innings points, an outright result looks
very unlikely unless we see a sporting declaration by Ricky
Ponting sometime tomorrow
The star of the third day was undoubtedly Mark Waugh with a superb
168
Play resumes tomorrow at 10.30am Sydney time.
Welcome to the fourth and final day of the Pura Cup match between
New South Wales and Tasmania, in this opening round of the season
After a close fight for first innings points, Tasmania coming out
on top in that battle, this match now looks headed for a certain
draw, barring something catastrophic
The players and umpires make their way out on to the field with
play about to start
With the news that Brad Haddin has donned the gloves for New South
Wales after Greg Mail kept late yesterday
Stuart MacGill to bowl the first innings of the morning
19.1 MacGill to Cox, FOUR, short ball pitched wide of off spinning out
further, allows Cox to get back and just slap it away through the
off side
19.2 MacGill to Cox, no run, forward and defending
19.3 MacGill to Cox, two runs, gets back to a short ball and drives away
off the back foot through cover
