DAY 1
After winning the toss on the morning of Day 1, Western Australia had no hesitation in electing to bowl first and send the visitors in.
Travis Dean was ruled out pregame with a shoulder complaint which meant Ashley Chandrasinghe would keep his spot.
Victoria went into the first break at 2-66 after losing Harris (19) and Kellaway (6). Matt Short (36) and Mitch Perry (33) supported well but the story of the day was Ashley Chandrasinghe who faced 266 balls unbeaten for 46* at Stumps on Day 1.
