WA in command against Redbacks in Shield

Western Australia look set for a formidable total against South Australia in the Sheffield Shield after centuries from Ashton Agar and Josh Inglis took the visitors to 5-428 at lunch on day two.

Coming together with the first innings in the balance at 5-215 on Saturday, the pair made light work of the Redbacks' attack with the 213-run partnership.

Agar (107 not out) and Inglis (108no) pummelled 40 boundaries between them in a dominant display at Adelaide's Karen Rolton Oval.

After taking all the wickets on day one, legspinner Lloyd Pope (5-127) remains the most likely of the SA bowlers but couldn't add to that haul on Sunday.

Chadd Sayers (0-55) was next best of the SA attack, keeping a tight line in 26 overs but also failing to get the much-needed breakthrough.

The opening four rounds of the Shield season are all being played in Adelaide due to biosecurity measures with COVID-19.
