Paceman Brendan Doggett's torment of his former state Queensland continues as South Australia close in on holding the coveted Sheffield Shield for the first time in 29 years.
The Bulls were 3-177 in their second innings at stumps on day two in the Shield final in Adelaide, just one run ahead of SA.
Queensland were bowled out for a meagre 95 in their first innings and SA, powered by a superb Jake Lehmann century, replied with 271.
Never before has a state overturned a bigger first-innings deficit to become Shield champions: the record rests with Victoria in the 1990/91 final - they were 104 runs in arrears of NSW but recovered to win.
Doggett, who moved to SA after his final ball for Queensland was the match-winning wicket in the Bulls' last Shield final triumph in 2020/21, returned stunning first-innings figures of 6-31.
And on Thursday, his 2-38 featured the prized scalps of Test stalwarts Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne.
Doggett removed Khawaja, caught at third slip for 21, before Bulls skipper Labuschagne rode good fortune on his rescue mission.
Labuschagne, on 20, hooked a Doggett delivery to fine leg where Liam Scott took a brilliant diving catch just millimetres from the turf.
Umpires called for a review of the catch and replays showed Doggett had delivered a no-ball by a whisker.
Labuschagne cashed in and was well settled on 61 when he played a half-hearted swipe to a Doggett short ball.
The top edge flew to Jason Sangha at deep backward square leg and replays showed Doggett had, only barely, landed part of his heel behind the crease.
Earlier, Lehmann - the son of SA great Darren Lehmann who featured in the state's last Shield triumph in 1995/96 - made a sterling 102.
The left-hander's third century in as many Shield games came from only 135 balls - he arrived at the crease on Wednesday to partner Alex Carey with SA wobbling at 4-65.
"To rock up and perform in a final when there was a little bit of pressure on and some wickets falling ... it's just awesome," Lehmann said.
"The best thing that we've done all year is be process-driven and try and stay in the moment.
"And to walk out to bat with someone like Alex Carey, he's just so calm and composed and wants to play cricket in a positive manner and that's infectious."
Lehmann's knock was laced with 15 fours as SA seek to collect the Shield and one-day titles in the same season for the first time.
SA, winners of the 50-over final against Victoria on March 1, resumed at 6-158 and Lehmann featured in a pair of productive partnerships.
The 32-year-old and Ben Manenti (47 from 59 balls) crafted a 72-run union.
And with No.9 Nathan McAndrew (39), Lehmann put on a match-high 85-run stand while reaching his 14th first-class century.
Lehmann's ton ensured SA, despite 19-year-old paceman Callum Vidler's 4-64 and Jack Wildermuth's 3-39, rode momentum established on the opening day.
SA's bowlers, spearheaded by Doggett, skittled the Bulls for the lowest first innings total in any Shield final.
