Stumps Tasmania 394 for 5 (Weatherald 186, Doran 101, Ward 51, Whitney 2-103) vs Queensland
Jake Doran scored his fifth first-class century before hurt Tasmania’s quest for an outright Sheffield Shield victory over Queensland.
Doran, the 27-year-old, resumed day two on his overnight score of 86, and made 101 in 112 balls as the Tigers progressed to a commanding 394 for 5.
Only 9.1 overs were possible on Saturday before driving rain settled in above Allan Border Field and continued until play was called off mid-afternoon.
Day-one hero Jake Weatherald (186) had only added one to his overnight score when he played back to a full Mitchell Swepson legspinner and was trapped in front.
Doran brought up his century off 101 deliveries with a delightful late cut off Bryce Street to the third boundary.
The new ball moved around under heavy skies and Mark Steketee troubled Doran before luring him into a drive that was snaffled by wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson.
Beau Webster (17 not out) was looking composed but unable to kick on due to the weather.
Fine conditions are forecast for Sunday with Tasmania the only team in a position to push for a win with a declaration expected overnight. The Tigers bowlers will need to take 20 wickets and restrict the hosts to meagre totals if they are to record their first win of the season.
