Shield clash poised after Zampa's 10-fa

Vital match on knife-edge following leggie's maiden 10-wicket haul, with the Redbacks chasing 279 for victory

The crucial Sheffield Shield match between South Australia and Queensland at Adelaide Oval is set for a tense finale after an action-packed day three.

South Australia will resume on Tuesday at 4-158, still 121 runs away of victory. The winner will jump into second spot on the Shield ladder with two rounds remaining.

After two successive home defeats, SA's hopes will largely rest on Jake Lehmann (43 not out) and Tom Cooper (38 not out).

The Redbacks' last two recognised batsman have rescued their side from a parlous 4-92, to put on a tense unbeaten stand of 66 for the fifth wicket.

Earlier on Monday, Australian limited overs leg-spinner Adam Zampa took career best match figures of 10-119.

Zampa claimed 4-57 as Queensland were bowled out for 216 in their second innings.

It could have been much worse for the Bulls but rookie wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson hit an invaluable 71 batting at No.7.

Queensland allrounder Jack Wildermuth (51) also struck a half-century to give the visitors something to bowl at in the fourth-innings.
