W.A. declared at 5/329, a lead of 386.
Rogers made 120 and Goodwin was 104 n.o. from 117 balls.
Downton was expensive but took 3 wickets.
The Tigers need 387 @ a touch over 5 r.p.o. The Warriors might have declared earlier if it wasn't for Tassie's fantastic chase for victory against the Blues.

Williams struck twice, removing both openers, l.b.w.
Cox (11) and Mason (13) gave Williams his 5th. and 6th. wicket for the match.
He has to leave at tea to catch a plane to Adelaide for tomorrow's training session with the Oz Test team so he'd love one or two more before then.

The bowler who replaced Williams at tea, Ben Edmondson, took 3/47 from 9 overs and bowled that last thrilling over.
His three dots to Marsh did the trick.
Another great effort from Tassie but this time they missed the 6 points by the narrowest of margins. Dan Marsh played a wonderful captain's knock again. His 111 n.o. took only 96 balls.

Shield match thriller
December 10, 2003 - Fox Sports
WESTERN Australia and Tasmania's Pura Cup cricket match ended in a thrilling draw after scores were tied at the end of the final day at the WACA Ground.
Andrew Downton needed two runs off the final ball for the Tigers to win after being set a victory target of 387.
However, the tailender could only manage a single off rookie Ben Edmondson, meaning his team finished with no points from the contest.
Tigers captain Daniel Marsh led the gallant chase with an unbeaten 111 off 95 balls.
WA took first innings points yesterday.
The result sees Tasmania (14) remain on top of the Pura Cup table but another run would have put the Tigers well clear with 20 points from four matches. WA remained on the bottom.
WA captain Michael Hussey closed his second innings at 5-329 after Murray Goodwin (104no) completed his hundred with Brad Hogg (8no) the other unbeaten batsman.
Tasmania's mammoth fourth innings chase spluttered along until tea with the visitors 3-138 off 38 overs, needing 249 runs off the final 37 overs in the last session.
It stepped up with Marsh's arrival at the crease at 4-166 as the solid allrounder and Dighton put on a cracking pace on a pitch which had shown some gremlins early in the day.
Their fifth-wicket partnership of 128 runs in 110 balls set up the visitors' unlikely charge for glory.
Dighton's fine knock ended when he top-edged a hook shot with Peter Worthington taking an ungainly catch in the deep off Paul Wilson's (1-43) bowling.
But Thorp grassed a difficult chance low down when Dan Marsh was on 74 and the score 5-300 as the Tigers seized the momentum.
Hussey then showed enormous faith in Edmondson, handing him the ball with 45 runs needed off seven overs.
He did not let his new team and state down with the wickets of Sean Clingeleffer (30) and Damien Wright (5) in crunch time.
WA coach Wayne Clark said the Queensland 2nd XI bowler had shown he was worth the gamble after leaving the Sunshine State because of a lack of opportunities with its rich fast bowling stocks.
"He was under immense pressure there in the end and his last few overs were very good, we were gone for all money," Clark said.

Michael Dighton got his start with the Warriors grrrr 
. It's certainly frustrating supporting the Warriors over the last few years as we have become a development team for the eastern states squads. It appalls me that some of our best talent heads east. Is it the money and/or the perception that they wont be noticed by national selectors unless they play on the east coast? The inclusion of Langer, Martyn and Gilchrist in the Aussie first 11 surely disproves this theory. Simon Katich moved across to NSW but originally debuted for Australia in the Ashes series of June-July 2001 when playing with the Warriors. If anything proving yourself as a top class batsman on the WACA pitch certainly helps build a strong case for national selection. Allan Donald testified to this as he mentioned several times during the latter part of his career that he wanted to play for the Warriors for a season or two. Some people believed this was because he wanted to achieve his final goal in cricket of killing a batsman (he must have bowled faster than 160 at his peak).
