South Australia open Shield title defence with innings win as Richardson takes five

South Australia began their Sheffield Shield title defence by beating Victoria by an innings at Junction Oval.

In Perth, fast bowler Jhye Richardson took five Queensland wickets for 19 runs, helping bowl them out for 68 in their second innings.

Western Australia then reached 5/134 and needed 67 more runs to win, with Aaron Hardie unbeaten on 48 at stumps.

Queensland had led by 132 runs after their first innings, which included a century from wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson.

Richardson said he wants to earn another chance to play Test cricket for Australia.

In Sydney, Tasmania were trying to save their match after NSW built a 255-run first-innings lead.

Tasmania were 4/302 at lunch on the final day, with Tim Ward and Jake Doran batting together.
