Tasmania 331 (Silk 112, ABBOTT 6-99, DWARSHUIS 3-77) and 81 for 1 (Weatherald 63*) Lead New South Wales 186 (Dwarshuis 40*, Webster 5-44, Meredith 3-43) by 226 races
In the middle of its pink ball clash, the local team was 81 by 1 in its second tickets, with a general advantage of 226.
The third place NSW must beat Tasmania, who is the last one, in the final round to jump to Queensland and face southern Australia (SA) in the final.
NSW had problems in the average session of the night game on day two and were thrown by 186 in their first tickets, since Webster and Meredith stood out with the ball.
Weatherald then ended the day with an undefeated 63 and his early dismissal on Monday will be a priority for the NSW attack.
Bowling with a significant rhythm, Meredith took two WICKETS in a new one, since the visitors were placed on the rear foot in their first entries. The Sam Konstas test starter only made 5 and while Kurtis Patterson (33), Josh Philippe (25) and Abbott (30) began, NSW lost 3 to 0 to 0 to 134 by 8.
But Dwarshuis said that Tasmania would hit again on Sunday, throwing 40 of 31 balls, with six four and two six, to help take NSW beyond the follow -up target.
Webster, the Allrounder test, took 5 for 44 and Meredit claimed 3 by 43.
Jackson Bird fired Nivethan Radhakrishnan for 6 to give NSW the early progress they needed in the second entries of Tasmania. Weatherald and Tim Ward (11 were not) then hit even stumps, turning the most tight screws in NSW.
