Victoria captain Peter Handscomb was dismissed for 95 just before stumps after putting his team in a solid position in the Sheffield Shield clash against Tasmania in Hobart.

Victoria finished day one at 4-216 after Tasmania fast bowler Riley Meredith (2-36) removed Handscomb and nightwatchman Mitchell Perry in quick succession just before the close.

Handscomb had plenty of assistance from debutant Ashley Chandrasinghe (63no) in a 157-run partnership for the third wicket.

The duo came together on the cusp of lunch after openers Marcus Harris (35) and Travis Dean (18) had been dismissed by veteran paceman Peter Siddle (2-43).

Handscomb has reminded Australian selectors this month of his penchant for scoring runs and lots of them.

He has scores of 132 against South Australia and 281no against Western Australia to his credit already this season.

The 31-year-old played the last of his 16 Tests in early 2019 but weight of runs, and he has 518 in the Shield this season, is making a case for his recall.

Tall and lean, left-handed No.3 batter Chandrasinghe played a composed 239-ball knock and put the loose ball away with aplomb.

The 20-year-old was awarded a rookie contract for 2022-23 after a superb 2021-22 season with the Victorian Second XI when he plundered 423 runs at an average of 84.60.

Tasmania had won the toss and sent the Vics in to bat on a pitch that offered assistance for Siddle and his fellow seamers.

The 37-year-old former Test representative has been in top form this summer.

He claimed eight wickets for the match in Tasmania's recent win over South Australia and picked up where he left off with his nagging seam deliveries just doing enough to trouble the batsmen.
