day three

Richie Berrington did the damage, punishing the Hebou PNG Barramundis’ bowlers for his 129 runs, which included fifteen boundaries.

Berrington was eventually dismissed by Barras’ captain Assad Vala.

The tail-enders then went to work. Safyaan Sharif, the star with the ball for Scotland, made a valuable 25 runs while Mark Watt (61*) and Chris Sole (14*) were able to take Scotland to 9/482 at stumps to put Scotland ahead in the match.

A cooler day with patches of rain is forecast for the day, in what should be a relief for players after previously hot conditions.

So who among the international stars and Australian hopefuls is on court today?

Big guns of men's tennis in action

Arguably history's greatest player Roger Federer is the morning's star attraction as he faces off against USA's Noah Rubin on Rod Laver Arena.

Day three began this morning at 9:30am with the openers Tony Ura and Vani Vagi Morea at the crease looking to extend the Barras lead.

But Namibia had other ideas and crushed the Barras hopes of pushing their lead past 400 by the end of play this afternoon.

Bernard Scholtz was the man responsible taking 6/65 off his 19 overs.

The slow left-arm orthodox bowler troubled the Barras with Scholtz claiming the wickets of big guns Lega Siaka (7), Assad Vala (6) and Mahuru Dai (8) who didn’t score past 10.
