Queensland's openers have made a super cautious start on day one of the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria in Melbourne.
The visitors crawled to 1-52 at lunch during a morning session cut short by two overs due to showers at St Kilda's Junction Oval.
Joe Burns was the only wicket to fall with the former Test batsman bowled for 22 after shouldering arms to a Mitch Perry inswinger.
At the other end, fellow opener Bryce Street laboured to 16 not out in a 90-ball knock.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Burns and Street chewed up 21.2 overs in their 40-run opening stand.
Matt Renshaw came in at No.3 and immediately hit a couple of boundaries to be unbeaten on 12.
Pakistan-bound Test fast bowler Scott Boland returned 0-8 from six overs while wicket-taker Perry has figures of 1-6.
