With a ripping wrong'un gifting a glimpse into the future, South Australian teen Lloyd Pope captured his maiden first-class wicket against NSW on Wednesday. Pope's stunning ball overshadowed all others at Adelaide Oval on day two of the opening round JLT Sheffield Shield clash, which was dominated by the hosts.

The Redbacks are 2-113 at stumps, with Jake Lehmann unbeaten on 53 and Callum Ferguson not out 34, in reply to the Blues' 246 all out. The 18-year-old Pope's wicket during his Shield debut rapidly became an internet sensation. The teen’s strike came after South Australian quick Joe Mennie took a five-wicket haul as NSW were bowled out for 246 in their first innings.

The Blues lost 7-122 on Wednesday's rain-affected second day of play, with Mennie finishing with 5-39 from 20 overs. After the morning session was washed out, NSW resumed at 3-124 but lost 4-15 before a tail-end revival led by Trent Copeland's unbeaten half-century. Mennie trapped debutant Jack Edwards lbw for four and three balls later he bowled Blues skipper Peter Nevill for a duck with a superb off-cutter.

In his next over Mennie dismissed Moises Henriques lbw for 47 before debutants Jason Sangha and Daniel Sams were involved in a mix-up which resulted in the latter being run out for a duck. Sangha (12) followed his teammate back to the dressing rooms in the next over when bowled by Chadd Sayers (1-54).

Tailenders Copeland (55no) and Steve O'Keefe (14) produced a 35-run partnership, which was broken by Pope's first wicket in first-class cricket. The SA debutant trapped O'Keefe lbw with a stellar wrong'un which turned sharply onto the batsman's pads. Copeland and No.11 Sean Abbott (27) put on 66 valuable runs before Pope claimed his second victim to end with 2-55.
