O'Neill and Boland were astonishing with the new ball hitting a faultless line and length on the zesty MCG track. O'Neill shook the stumps of the two openers. Daniel Hughes was dumbfounded in the second after a length ball climbed and hit his base elbow as he attempted to protect and Ryan Hackney scored only 2 of every 30 conveyances prior to leaving a ball that pitched on center and hit the highest point of off. O'Neill was then on a full go-around when he scratched Moises Henriques' external edge to leave NSW 7 for 3.
Perry got in on the demonstration with Jason Sangha and Matthew Gilkes both got well in the slips before Boland got back to eliminate the unyielding Blake Macdonald who had supplanted the cut out Kurtis Patterson.

Boland clean bowled Ben Dwarshuis soon after to give him figures off 11-6-8-2. He ought to have had Jack Edwards efficiently however he was dropped two times in the sneaks past the normally solid Handscomb and Matt Short.
The respites implied NSW could stay away from an undesirable record. At 54 for 8 they were gazing their least at any point Safeguard score at the MCG in the face with the past record of 66, set in 1894, still 12 takes off.
In any case, Edwards and Jackson Bird swung hard and rode their karma to push NSW past three figures. Bird's 29 incorporated a monstrous six down the ground off Boland. The Australia Test fast guaranteed Edwards eventually yet his figures took some harm, wrapping up with 3 for 36 from 15 overs.
Victoria transformed a 94-run lead into a 184-run support for the deficiency of just Marcus Harris and Will Pucovski in their second innings as Dignitary ground his direction to the main 50 years of the coordinate for certain focused shielding and controlled punches into holes.
Chris Tremain proceeded with his great structure in eliminating Harris, who is battling from the get-go in a season where a Test spot is set to open up, and Pucovski having tidied up Victoria's most memorable innings in the first part of the day, taking his count for the match to six.
Yet, Dignitary and Handscomb disappointed NSW until Dwarshuis got through guaranteeing Senior member captured behind. Henriques welcomed himself on and started a small scale breakdown. Short was given out to a sketchy lbw choice with the ball seeming to hit him outside the line then, at that point, Will Sutherland was caught lbw next ball to leave his contradicting chief on a full go-around and Victoria wavering at 92 for 5.
Handscomb stayed formed and directed the hosts to stumps yet there was another bend late with Sam Harper edging behind in the last over to provide the Blues with a hint of something to look forward to. Such was the strength of the quick bowlers, Australia's two Test spinners, Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy, bowled only three overs between them for the afternoon - every one of them by Lyon.
