Queensland beat Tasmania by 10 wickets in the Sheffield Shield on Saturday, reaching the target of 19 runs in 5.1 overs, Cricket Australia said in a statement.

The win was the Bulls' second of the season and moved them to the top of the standings.

Tasmania were bowled out for 233 in the evening gloom on the third day, leaving Queensland a small target to chase on the final day.

The Bulls' openers got to the total in the opening overs, with Hugo Burdon unbeaten on 8 and Angus Lovell on 6 at the end.

Lovell hit the winning runs with an edge that went through the slips cordon to the boundary.

Tasmania made one change to its side, with Marcus Bean replacing Riley Meredith in the XI.

Bean was also called into the Australian ODI squad for the match against England in Adelaide on Sunday.

Neither Bean nor Beau Webster took a wicket in the chase, so Tasmania could not pick up a consolation wicket before the end.

The Sheffield Shield is Australia's first-class domestic competition, in which teams representing each state play multi-day matches.

Sunday's match in Adelaide is part of Australia's one-day series against England, and the squad call-up gives Bean a chance at international selection.
