Alex Carey has crunched a ton against NSW's all-star attack as South Australia built a dominant first-innings Sheffield Shield total at Adelaide Oval.
Carey (125) continued his fine form from day one to bring up his fifth first-class century as the Redbacks eventually declared at 8-482.
In response at tea, the Blues were 1-62 with Test opener David Warner falling for a breezy 24, caught behind after an indecisive attempted leave off a Daniel Worrall (1-25) ball.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Carey continued to press his case to eventually move into the Australian Test team, moving from 86 not out overnight to three figures.
He was out trying to slog-sweep Test tweaker Nathan Lyon (5-152) over the fence, caught by Josh Hazlewood at mid-on.
It was a rare bright moment for the Blues who leaked 140 runs during the first session for just two wickets.
Jake Lehmann took up where Carey left off, clubbing an unbeaten 80 off just 85 balls before Chadd Sayers flayed a quickfire 52 not out.
Mitchell Starc's recent form woes continued, the Australian quick with figures of 0-91 from 21 overs while Josh Hazlewood plugged away with 3-77.
Nick Larkin (20) and Kurtis Patterson (18) were the not out batsmen at the break.
