South Australia 7 for 405 (Ferguson 129, Blizzard 108*, Klinger 86) v Western Australia
Scorecard
Callum Ferguson has been starved of cricket over the past month but he cashed in with a swift century as South Australia finished the second day at 7 for 405 against Western Australia. After only 4.1 overs were allowed on the first day, Ferguson showed he was back in excellent nick in his opening first-class game since knee surgery last year.
Aiden Blizzard also played a significant part as he brought up his first hundred in his second Sheffield Shield match for the Redbacks. After making 96 on debut, he backed up with 108 not out, hitting 12 fours and three sixes, including one to the legside which moved him to 95.
Ferguson, who didn't play during Australia's one-day tour of India, breezed to 129 from 143 deliveries to set up South Australia's bid to get some points over the next couple of days. He put on 176 with Michael Klinger (86) for the third wicket after Daniel Harris became Michael Hogan's second wicket. Once Ferguson departed lbw, having been hit trying to sweep the spinner Michael Beer, Blizzard took over until bad light and rain ended the day.
Mitchell Johnson has been on Western Australia's books for two years but this is his first match for the Warriors as he prepares for the Sri Lanka ODIs and the Ashes. He struggled for much of the day and had 0 for 96 before he picked up Graham Manou, who left a ball coming back to be lbw. Daniel Christian then hit Johnson to backward point and he finished with 2 for 108 off 24 overs.
