Ashes aspirant Travis Head has fallen cheaply as South Australia wobbled to 5-111 at lunch on day two of their rain-affected Sheffield Shield clash in Hobart.
The Redbacks skipper, one of several players fighting for a middle order spot in Australia's Test side for the December 8 Ashes series opener against England, was bowled for 14 by an inswinger from Lawrence Neil-Smith.
Head started Thursday's first session on five as South Australia resumed at 2-27 following a rain-hit opening day where just 15.1 overs were bowled.
He managed just nine and 21 in his side's last-start loss to Western Australia but notched a half-century against Queensland and 163 against WA in the two proceeding games.
Evergreen veteran quick Peter Siddle (3-22 from 15 overs) struck two blows in the session.
He had wicketkeeper Alex Carey (six) caught at point driving outside off stump before finding the edge of Harry Neilsen (zero).
Young opener Henry Hunt has scored the lion's share of South Australia's runs, and will resume after the break on 61 alongside Liam Scott (21 not out).
Tasmania won the toss on Wednesday and elected to bowl, removing Jake Weatherald and Jake Carder for single digits.
