Tasmanian opener Caleb Jewell's maiden double century, sealed with a slice of luck, has effectively batted Western Australia out of their Sheffield Shield clash at Blundstone Arena.
The Tigers (183, 8-537) lead Western Australia (271) by 449 runs with two wickets remaining ahead of the final day at Blundstone Arena.
Jewell, dropped without scoring on Saturday, began the day on 98 and enjoyed two more slices of luck on the way to a career-best 227.
Wicketkeeper Josh Phillipe dropped a chance when the left-hander was on 165 and was then caught with his weight on the wrong foot as an edge flew between him and first slip to bring up Jewell's 200.
Jewell and Beau Webster, who scored an even 100 of his own, kept coming at a tiring Warriors attack who couldn't find much life in the Blundstone Arena wicket.
They put on 183 before Bradley Hope's unbeaten 56 rubbed salt into the Warriors' wounds.
Joel Paris (3-76) was the pick of the bowlers while Cameron Green (1-78) went for more than seven an over as Jewell scored the sixth-highest first class score by a Tasmanian.
'It probably hasn't really sunk in yet, what's happened," he said.
"I just woke up at the start of the day pretty nervous about getting those first two runs, but (I'm) very happy.
"Hopefully I can make the most of it and get another (big score) soon."
He was cagey when asked what the plan would be on Monday, when a victory would go some way to securing the table-topping Tigers' position with two rounds until the final.
"I'm sure we'll have a bowl at some stage tomorrow. We're still tying to win this game," he said.
"With fresh bowlers and a new ball, we can do some damage."
Warriors coach Adam Voges said Aaron Hardie (calf) was sent from the field and unable to bowl as a precaution but would bat on Monday if required.
