Bancroft, Goodwin post centuries as WA bat big against SA

Cameron Bancroft and Jayden Goodwin both scored centuries to guide Western Australia to 304 for 3 on day one of their Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at Adelaide Oval. After captain Hilton Cartwright won the toss, Bancroft anchored the innings with an unbeaten 156 from 289 balls, while Goodwin contributed 108. The duo combined for a dominant 244-run partnership to put the visiting side in control.

Goodwin was eventually bowled by Brendan Doggett with the second new ball after striking 13 boundaries. Cartwright added 27 before being dismissed by Wes Agar late in the day. The century marked Bancroft's 21st in first-class cricket and his first Sheffield Shield ton of the season.
