      Western Australia v NSW | Sheffield Shield | Day 4

      Chasing 182 for victory, NSW were cruising at 1-117 on Tuesday before suffering a collapse of 5-36 to put the game on a knife's edge.

              Nikitaras scores crucial half century for NSW

              NSW's second win on the trot has kept them within touching distance of the top two, occupied by Tasmania and Victoria.

              Green was named player of the match after returning figures of 3-33 and 6-83 to go with his handy knocks of 19 and 16no.

                  Green claims career-best figures in WA rout

                  The Blues resumed play on day four at 1-77 and victory looked a mere formality as Daniel Hughes (59) and Blake Nikitaras (56) dug in.

                  But Charlie Stobo's dismissal of Nikitaras opened the door for WA as NSW's middle order crumbled.

                  Spinner Corey Rocchiccioli snared Hughes and Matthew Gilkes, while Moises Henriques was left in disbelief when he was given out caught behind down the leg side for five.

                      Umpires turn down obstructing the field appeal

                      Replays suggested Henriques didn't get any bat to the Joel Paris delivery.

                      NSW endured another piece of misfortune just before lunch when Jack Edwards shouldered arms to Paris and was given out lbw, despite the ball appearing to be too high.

                      That left NSW needing another 29 runs for victory, but Davies and Green came out swinging after the break to quickly put the contest to bed.

                      Green sealed victory with a big heave that Sam Fanning fumbled over the rope for six.
