James Pattinson was clearly furious when he was the second of Swepson's three lbw dismissals and the replay suggested the ball was going down leg side.

Swepson then dismissed Peter Siddle with the next ball after also claiming Will Sutherland's wicket at the end of the previous over.

Victoria declared three balls after the hat-trick on 9-300, a first-innings lead of 117.

Queensland faced two overs, despite the poor light, and a fired-up Pattinson thought he had Bryce Street caught behind.

Peter Siddle then trapped Street lbw for three.

Nightwatchman Cameron Gannon was halfway out to the crease, with rain falling, when the umpires finally called stumps.

Queensland captain Jimmy Peirson spoke with the umpires for several minutes after the rest of the players had left the field.

Earlier, Victorian captain Peter Handscomb was dismissed for 92 on the first ball after tea.

Mark Steketee took the new ball and trapped Handscomb lbw.

Until the dramatic last few minutes, the story of day two had been Victorian teenager Jake Fraser-McGuirk.

He immediately showed why Victoria made him the third-youngest player in their Shield history.

The 17-year-old scored 51 on debut, sharing in a 104-run stand with Handscomb that gave Victoria the lead.

The teenager faced 91 balls, hitting three boundaries and a six, before he edged Steketee to Charlie Hemphrey at first slip with a rare false shot.

"I was pretty nervous when Finchy (Aaron Finch) got out but it was good to bat with Pete out there, he calmed me down quite a bit," Fraser-McGurk said during the tea break.

"I was just happy to get a decent score for my first dig. It was better than I expected, kids dream of playing on the MCG but I just had to put that to one side and get down to business."

Pattinson made 42, while Swepson took 4-75.
