Rain has again halted play in the Sheffield Shield clash between NSW and Tasmania at Bankstown Oval on Saturday after tea with the visitors 1-115.

Ben Dunk has anchored the Tasmanian innings after captain George Bailey won the toss and elected to bat and is 59 not out after 35 overs. Alex Doolan is the other unbeaten batsman on 43.

Beau Webster (9) is the only wicket to fall, he was out LBW to Doug Bollinger in the seventh over with the score at 23.

Bollinger is the pick of the NSW's bowlers with 1-15 off nine overs.

The start of the game was delayed by 75 minutes due to the poor weather earlier in the day and the rescheduled lunch break was taken early due to rain.
