Scorecard

Dan Cullen, the 20-year-old offspinner, captured his first five-wicket haul as he kept South Australia in the match against Queensland at the Gabba. On a pitch made for fast bowling, Cullen elbowed his way in and was responsible for a collapse of five wickets for 32 runs as the Bulls stuttered while trying to set a large victory target.

Leading by 56 on first innings, Queensland were travelling comfortably at 2 for 129, but Shaun Tait dismissed Shane Watson and Cullen took the next four wickets, including Martin Love, who reached double figures for the first time this season. Cullen finished with 5 for 78 but the Bulls have earned a 313-run lead thanks to Craig Philipson's unbeaten 64.

Ashley Noffke wrapped up three wickets as Queensland collected two valuable first-innings points before lunch. Resuming at 5 for 68, South Australia added 13 before Andy Bichel bowled Greg Blewett and then Noffke hit Graham Manou, Cullen and Ryan Harris in his best spell of a tough season. Queensland's two points moves them ahead of New South Wales into second position behind Western Australia.
