Middle-order batsman Pandey cracked 13 boundaries and one six to take the visitors close to the 200-mark but once he was dismissed by Chadd Sayers, the rest of the batsmen could only score 42 runs.

At the draw of stumps, Cameron Bancroft (10) and Joe Burns (12) were at the crease with Australia A at 24 for no loss at the Allan Border Field.
