The Victoria vs New South Wales match at Sydney Cricket Ground stretched into the fourth day with Ransford top scoring for Victoria.

NSW bowlers Hopkins Barnes and Noble resisted, but Ransford’s elegant strokeplay and Tarrant’s late counter helped Victoria extend a strong total, while NSW replies in progress showed menacing but cautious batting.
