Will Pucovski and Marcus Harris have broken the record for the biggest partnership in Sheffield Shield cricket history, passing the 30-year-old mark set by Steve and Mark Waugh.
On Sunday morning the Victorian opening pair overtook the 464-run stand made by the Australian Test team twins for NSW back in 1990.
The feat was achieved in Adelaide against South Australia when Harris crashed a boundary off the bowling of Wes Agar.
It stands as the highest Australian first-class partnership since the competition started in 1892.
The new record was set at 486 when Harris was caught behind off Agar’s bowling for 239. Pucovski remains not out.
South Australia had a chance to prevent the record on Sunday morning when Callum Ferguson dropped a simple chance from Harris at slip with the score at 0-436.
Elsewhere, leg-spinner Mitch Swepson took five wickets as Queensland bowled New South Wales out for 283, giving the Bulls a 15-run first innings lead.
Meanwhile, Tasmania has built a decent lead over Western Australia on the back of a patient 90 from Ben McDermott.
