Teen star Sam Konstas has continued his red-hot form with an unbeaten 55 on the first day of New South Wales’ Sheffield Shield clash against Western Australia.

NSW are 0-97 in response to WA’s 211, with openers Konstas (55* off 64 ) and Blake Nikitaras (29 off 70) at the crease.

Josh Inglis found valuable time in the middle for WA after a Thursday night dash from Adelaide to Sydney to play in the Sheffield Shield.

The Australian Test squad reserve topscored for WA with a fluent 41 as NSW made a strong start with the ball at the SCG.

Inglis’ release from the Test squad was kept quiet, and he was batting only two hours after the news of his selection broke as WA was reduced to 4-77 by a three-wicket opening spell from Jack Edwards.

Captaining in the absence of Moises Henriques, who NSW granted the next two Shield matches off to prepare for the BBL, Edwards took the new ball with Jackson Bird as both sides named two specialist spinners on a wicket expected to turn sharply later in the game.

Inglis steered the visitors to 5-169 with five boundaries before he played away from his body at an outswinger from Edwards and was caught by Bird at first slip late in the second session.

Young Victorian quicks Fergus O’Neill and Mitch Perry ripped through Queensland with five wickets apiece to leave the visitors all out for 172 at the MCG.

Queensland opener Matt Renshaw (59) watched from the other end in despair as O’Neill claimed three wickets in a stunning fifth over to leave the Bulls 3-16.

The 23-year-old Test hopeful sent an inswinger clattering into left-hander Bryce Street’s off-stump as he shouldered arms before he had the in-form Angus Lovell caught at second slip three balls later.

O’Neill had Jack Clayton out in remarkably similar fashion to Street as he kept himself firmly in the frame for a call-up later in the Border-Gavaskar series.

He moved to the top of the Shield leading wicket-takers with 18 at 22.38 after claiming 40 scalps at 17.25 last summer.

It was also an important performance for Perry, who earnt selection for Australia A 18 months ago but found himself on the fringe of the Victorian side to start the season following the re-emergence of Sam Elliott and Xavier Crone.

The 24-year-old earnt a recall after veteran quick Peter Siddle missed the clash for personal reasons.

Victoria were 2-43 at stumps,

Former Australian under-19s captain Jason Sangha made the perfect start to his Sheffield Shield debut for South Australia with a fifth first-class century in Hobart.

After leaving NSW in a bid to reignite his stalling career, the 25-year-old was given a chance at No. 3 in his first red-ball game for the summer and put on an unbroken 300-run stand with Henry Hunt to take the Redbacks to 3-329 at stumps against Tasmania.

Sangha hit 17 boundaries en route to 151 as Hunt (136* off 292) took a more cautious approach against a Tasmanian attack that found wickets uncharacteristically hard to come by on a green-tinged pitch at Bellerive Oval.

Speedster Riley Meredith (2-85 off 18 overs) leaked runs, while Sri Lanka Test tour hopeful Matt Kuhnemann (0-48 off 22) bowled with decent control but was unable to get a breakthrough.

Redbacks opener Conor McInerney (8) fell steering a delivery from Lawrence Neil-Smith to bat-pad where Nivethan Radhakrishnan took an impressive reflex catch.
