Xavier Bartlett took three wickets for 33 runs to leave South Australia struggling at 7 for 104, 69 runs behind Queensland, at stumps on day two of their Sheffield Shield match in Adelaide. Bartlett removed Henry Hunt, Jake Weatherald and Jake Lehmann, while Cameron Gannon claimed two wickets to complete a strong day for the visitors' pace attack. Queensland had earlier posted 238 after Jack Clayton top-scored with 66.

Bartlett's early strikes after Queensland's modest total turned a narrow first-innings lead into a commanding position, underlining how much a new-ball burst can decide Shield matches on flat pitches.
