Bulls in fight to make Tigers bat again
Queensland were 3 for 54 at stumps, still needing 84 runs to make Tasmania bat again after day two of their four-day clash at the Gabba on Saturday.
The Bulls hopes of avoiding an innings defeat lie with James Hopes (40 not out) and Lachlan Stevens (8 not out) after a disastrous start to the second innings.
The home side was 3 for 5 inside seven overs after Martin Love (0), Clinton Perren (0) and Jimmy Maher (4) all went early.
Matthew Hayden did not come out to open the second innings after bruising his finger while fielding during Tasmania's first knock.
He mostly fielded away from his normal position in the slips cordon.
In his absence, Love joined Maher at the crease but followed up his first innings 1 with a duck when he went in the opening over, edging to Dan Marsh at slip off the bowling of Adam Griffith.
Perren went next over when he snicked a Ben Hilfenhaus delivery behind to wicket-keeper Sean Clingeleffer, and then Griffith bagged his second wicket when Maher was caught by George Bailey.
The Tigers took first innings points when they posted 334 in reply to Queenslands first innings of 196.
Michael Di Venuto (88) and Travis Birt (65) set the platform for the Tigers while Brett Geeves (65 off 77 balls) provided some lower order entertainment.
Andy Bichel was the pick of the Queensland bowlers, taking 4 for 107 from 31 overs, while Hopes snared 2 for 49.
