Opening batsman Rob Quiney struck his second century for the Sheffield Shield match as Victoria’s lead over South Australia grew to 434 runs by tea on day three.

The Bushrangers were 4-231 in their second innings, with Quiney dismissed in the last over before the break at Adelaide Oval.

Quiney, who struck 114 in the Bushrangers’ first innings, moved to the top of the Shield run-scorers list.

The powerful left-hander is also third highest scorer in the one-day competition, and only five batsmen made more runs in the Big Bash League.

Quiney blasted his second ton against the Redbacks from just 98 deliveries, including 10 fours and three sixes.

Earlier, the Victorians bowled SA out for 224 to take a 213 run first innings lead.
