Sam Konstas has helped NSW survive a tricky 20-over session, taking the Blues to 1-137 at stumps on a wet day two of the Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia.

After rain washed out the opening five hours of day two at the SCG, NSW were asked to contend with an 80-minute period before stumps on Saturday.
