Queensland openers Matthew Renshaw and Joe Burns drew on all their experience and class to get their team through to lunch at 0-78 on day two of the Sheffield Shield clash with Western Australia.

The first day's play at the Gabba was washed out and Western Australia captain Sam Whiteman sent the Bulls in to bat after winning the toss.

Conditions were tough for batting, with the pitch generating tennis-ball bounce and the ball seaming around.

Pacemen Joel Paris, Matthew Kelly, Aaron Hardie and Lance Morris tested the Bulls openers with probing spells but were unable to break though on a cool Brisbane day.

Play started an hour early with 112 overs to be bowled on Friday in an effort to make up for Thursday's lost day.

The two-and-a-half hour opening session was enthralling, with Burns (37no off 110 balls) and Renshaw (33no off 103) doing well to negotiate 35 overs without loss.

Both former Test batsmen were patient and left the ball with aplomb despite some close calls.

Renshaw returned to the Bulls side after making 81 and 101no for the Prime Minister's XI against the West Indies.

The left-hander is making a strong case for a recall to the Australia side and will be keen to press on and make another big score.

Midway through the Shield competition, defending champions Western Australia have asserted themselves as the early favourites after winning four of their opening five games to be top of the table on 31.85 points.

Tasmania are second on 20.54 with the Bulls close behind on 20.42.
