Tasmania is in full control of their Sheffield Shield clash with New South Wales at lunch on the final day in Hobart.
The home side is 0-36 in pursuit of the 147-runs needed for victory after running through the Blues during the morning session.
James Faulkner (4-52) and Jackson Bird (4-51) did the damage as the Tigers reduced NSW to 9-150, effectively ending the innings due to the absence of injured Blues' batsman Simon Katich who was unable to take his place at the crease.
The Blues had resumed at 4-75 with a lead of 71 and plenty of work ahead of captain Steve O'Keefe (35) and Peter Nevill (10) as they looked to post a defendable target.
After making a bright start to the day, Nevill was first to go when he mistimed a pull-shot from a short Faulkner delivery and gifted a catch to Brendan Drew at midwicket.
With Katich still feeling the effects of a nasty blow to the face he suffered while batting on day one, Scott Coyte (17) joined his skipper and caressed a couple of lovely cover drives before playing across the line to a full-pitched ball from Bird and being adjudged LBW.
Sean Abbott was next in with the Blues struggling at 6-121 but lasted only one delivery, bowled comprehensively by the rampaging Bird.
O'Keefe and Trent Copeland (17) had added 25 for the eighth wicket and looked to be well set when a momentary lapse in the captain's concentration saw his brave rearguard come unstuck.
It was Bird again who did the damage, tempting O'Keefe into missing with a loose drive one ball and finding the edge through to Mark Cosgrove's safe hands at first slip from the next delivery.
Copeland was the last man out, again edging to Cosgrove, but this time from the bowling of Brendan Drew (1-14).
While looking largely untroubled during their short stay at the crease, Tasmanian openers Ed Cowan (21) and Steve Cazzulino (10) did have to contend with some variable bounce on the wearing final day pitch.
Cowan also wore a short Scott Coyte delivery in the hip while attempting to pull but seemed to shake off the discomfort to remain unbeaten at the break.
