Perry takes flight for incredible Shield final hanger Western Australia stared down a spirited bowling burst by Victoria to wrest back the initiative in an absorbing Marsh Sheffield Shield finale, thanks largely to the enterprising batting of their lower-middle order. Contrary to the game's trend, WA trio Aston Turner, Aaron Hardie and Josh Philippe lifted their team within 20 runs of Victoria's first innings before fading light brought a premature end to a rain-interrupted day. When stumps were called on day two, WA were 5-175 and enjoying a period of supremacy through Turner's aggressive stroke play as he played the lead role in partnerships of 86 (off 133 balls) with all-rounder Hardie and 36 unbeaten (off 51 balls) with keeper-batter Philippe.
