Pucovski, Gotch combine to give Vics lead

Victoria will take a slim lead into Day 3 of their JLT Sheffield Shield clash with South Australia at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide.

Victorian batsmen Will Pucovski (82) and Seb Gotch (63) combined for a 144-run partnership in the middle order before Matt Short (56) and James Pattinson (24) added another 64 runs together.

A late collapse brought on by Chadd Sayers (3-49) before stumps has the match evenly placed with two days of play remaining.

Victoria will resume tomorrow at 8-280 with a lead of 20 runs. Peter Siddle (8*) and Andrew Fekete (1*) are unbeaten overnight.
