Tasmania hold a lead of 125 with 10 wickets in hand going into the final day of their Sheffield Shield clash with Victoria at the MCG.

SHEF - Melbourne Cricket Ground

23 October 2012 - Day 3, Session 3

Tasmania 2nd Innings

E. Cowan	2	11	0	0	18.18
M. Cosgrove	4	6	1	0	66.67

Pace bowler Jackson Bird put his hand up for a place in the Australia A side to be named on Friday by taking 4-73, lifting his tally of victims to 13 at 22.92 from three matches this season.

In reply to Tasmania's 5-439, Victoria had resumed on Thursday on 4-132 and were bowled out for 320.

Tasmania reached 0-6 from 2.5 overs before rain stopped play early in the final session.

The Bushrangers showed a lack of composure with the bat as they lost Matthew Wade (19), Andrew McDonald (64) and Glenn Maxwell (51) before lunch.

Wade was run out after McDonald hit a ball straight to mid-wicket and charged off for a quick single. McDonald hit six fours before playing a loose off-drive to cover, ending a promising partnership of 57 in 49 minutes with Maxwell.

The aggressive Maxwell casually chipped a short ball from James Faulkner (3-65) to fine leg at 7-247 and Bird trapped Peter Siddle lbw for one after the lunch break.

Tailenders John Hastings (46) and James Pattinson (19 not out) added a valuable 54 for the ninth wicket to allow Victoria to pass the follow-on mark of 290.
