Victoria fight back on remarkable day of Sheffield Shield cricket

Victorian spinner Jon Holland has led a fightback on Day 1 of Victoria's JLT Sheffield Shield clash against New South Wales after the visitors were dismissed for 106 in their first dig.

In-form batsman Nic Maddinson top scored for Victoria with just 24 runs after New South Wales fast bowler Harry Conway snared 5-14 in a dominant display.

The hosts then found themselves in control at 0-67 in reply through openers Nick Larkin and Dan Hughes, before a stunning collapse led by Jon Holland (5-27) saw the Blues crash to stumps at 7-97 still trailing by 9 runs.

Play is set to resume tomorrow on Day 2 at 10:30am with Peter Nevill (8*) and Harry Conway (5*) unbeaten.
