And that's stumps for me as well. Cheerio.

Robertson on 19 and Harling on 4.
They have put on 21 for the last wicket so far.
The Roos now need 17 runs to win in what would be a remarkable comeback.
6:20pm: Huntly have already beaten Sandhurst.
The Power declared at 3-80 in reply to the Dragons' 78.
Leading run-scorers for the Power were Dylan Gibson (22*), Josh Collinson (29), Liam Mottram (18).

Sandhurst have 8 overs to bat in their second dig tonight.

29 Kangaroo Flat v Golden Square Rd 4, 2012-13
30 Bendigo v Kangaroo Flat Rd 8, 2007-08

Matt Pinniger 64 n.o. - his fifth score above 50 for the season.
Bendigo has nine overs to face in its second innings.
5:43pm: This is quickly turning into the Dower Park Miracle for White Hills.
Liam Jones just out, caught behind off Rhys Irwin.
The Roos now 8-35 chasing 78.
5:40pm: That's it at Eaglehawk. No more play today because of rain.
The day ends with the Hawks 7-101.
Ben Devanny has five wickets for the Jets.
Ordinary conditions now for that game, which puts the Hawks under a bit of pressure as they try to hang on to fourth spot.
5:27pm: Bendigo United has already beaten Bendigo.
The Redbacks are 1-68 in reply to the Goers' 64.
That guarantees Bendigo United's finals berth... it's just now whether they can get to second and earn a home semi.
Matt Pinniger has almost beaten Bendigo off his own bat.
He's 50 not out.
Mark Di Fede the batsman, lbw to Mark Ryan. Can't confirm his score, but he went out after the Redbacks had won.
I'd be thinking the Redbacks would be keen to get the Goers back in for their second innings tonight and have another crack at them.
5:25pm: Players keen to hang around out at Eaglehawk to get the game restarted.
Play was halted at 4.:38pm. If more than an hour is lost, game reverts to ordinary conditions, which makes things interesting for fourth-placed Eaglehawk.
Between 5 and 10 mm of rain fell at the Borough.
5:23pm: Huntly is 1-14 chasing Sandhurst's 78.
Michael Hanson the batsman out for 1. He was dismissed by Elias Bowe.

They need another 46 runs with 3 wickets in hand.
5:18pm: That's now 16 wickets for 110 runs that have fallen at Dower Park today.
5:17pm: Believe it or not, but White Hills now has the upperhand in their clash with Kangaroo Flat, despite defending a score of just 78.
The Roos in all sorts at 6-32.
Latest wickets to fall have been Tyler Hinds (12), Daniel Barber (6), Brent Hamblin (0) and Adam Burns (2).
5:15pm: Looks like play very doubtful to get back underway at Eaglehawk.
I quote Greg Lyon: "Not a good sign when a couple of hundred ducks and seagulls come and settle on the ground."
Looks like that game could now be headed towards ordinary conditions.
5:06pm: Back to the lawn bowls.
Golden Square is on the verge of knocking out reigning premier Bendigo in their elimination final.
After 77 ends, Square leads Bendigo 74-56.
And Eaglehawk is on track to be the first team through to the grand final.
The Hawks lead Bendigo East by 18 shots in the qualifying final.
5:04pm: What a shocking day for teams batting first today.
Sandhurst all out 78.
White Hills all out 78.
Bendigo all out 64.
Eaglehawk 7-101 before the rain.
5:03pm: Sandhurst has been bowled out for 78 by Huntly-North Epsom.
The Power are going to need an outright win to be a shot of making the finals, so they've given themselves a chance.
4:59pm: Golden Square has moved to 4-145 in the 68th over v Strathdale.
Jason Johnson unbeaten on 18 and Jake Higgins 18 as well.
Last two wickets were Scott Johnson (49) and Tim Wood (17).
Cam Taylor has 3-38 off 19 overs, showing as well as being an accomplished tour diary author, he can also play a bit of cricket.

The Hawks are 7-101 against Strathfieldsaye.
Aaron Monro and Cory Jacobs both not out on 0.
The last wickets to fall have been Matt White (20), Cam McGlashan (19) and Jason Abbott (24).
Unsure if play will get back on today.
Ben Devanny already has five wickets for the Jets.
He has 5-26 off 19 overs, so more votes coming his way.
Devanny will win the Addy-Bicknells Cricketer of the Year Award.
4:49pm: White Hills giving themselves a chance with the ball.
Now have Kangaroo Flat 2-24 after Travis Colley had Lachlan Shelton caught at gully by Glenn Roulston for 7.
So far, 12 wickets have fallen in that game at Dower Park for 102 runs.
4:47pm: Bendigo has been bowled out for 64 by Bendigo United in the 49th over at Harry Trott Oval.
Wicket-takers for the Redbacks were Miggy Podosky (3), Leigh McDermott (2), Nick Crawford (2).

In its chase, Bendigo United are 0-24 off four overs.
Matt Pinniger on 14 and Mark Di Fede on 7.
Still 29 overs left in the day.
Redbacks should knock the runs over today and would then most likely have a crack at an outright win to help get them into second spot and a home final.
4:39pm: Kangaroo Flat lucky not to be 2-for.
Tyler Hinds just clean bowled by Rhys Irwin, but no-ball called.
Got to watch your feet and the crease.

They are only defending 78, but on the first ball of the Kangaroo Flat innings, Josh Newlan was trapped lbw by Rhys Irwin.
4:16pm: Sandhurst batting against Huntly-North Epsom at Poyser Motors Oval.

Hopefully, Bendigo's Brian Mansbridge isn't copping too much sledging for his appearance in Under The Pump today.
3:44pm: For those who also have a keen interest in the lawn bowls, Eaglehawk is belting Bendigo East in the qualifying final.
The Hawks are about 30 shots up.
