South Australian captain Travis Head has continued his prolific run-scoring with a half-century against Queensland in their Sheffield Shield match.

Head made 55 as the Redbacks moved to 5-182 at lunch on day two at Adelaide Oval in reply to Queensland's 152 all out.

Head struck eight fours in his 62-ball knock before popping a simple return catch to Bulls paceman Mark Steketee, who claimed the initial four wickets to fall.

Head is the sole batsman in the game to reach a half-century on a greenish pitch offering assistance to fast bowlers.

The Redbacks skipper on Wednesday cracked 230 against Queensland in a one-day match after making 163 in SA's Shield opener against Western Australia late last month.

Head resumed on Saturday on 28 with opener Henry Hunt, who failed to add to his overnight score of 37 before being bowled by Steketee.

Six overs later, Head departed to give Steketee the figures of 4-18 from 14 overs - the paceman had 4-26 from 18 overs at the lunch break - while James Bazley (1-39) is the other successful bowler.
