A Chris Rogers century underpinned early Victorian dominance before South Australia struck back late on the opening day of the Sheffield Shield match at Adelaide Oval.

The Bushrangers made 6-314 on Thursday's first day, with Rogers compiling 131 while Peter Handscomb (85) and Michael Hill (54) scored half-centuries.

The Victorians were cruising at 2-279 before SA took 4-25 in a six-over span in the final hour.

SA swingman Chadd Sayers was superb with 4-48 from 19 overs, claiming the prized scalps of David Hussey (one) and Rob Quiney (13), while Test spinner Nathan Lyon returned 0-77 from 24 overs.

The Redbacks were surprisingly without the state's two most recent internationals, Dan Christian and Kane Richardson.

Christian failed to make SA's squad while Richardson, just 11 days after making his Australian one-day debut, was 12th man.

The duo's bowling skills were missed early as prolific run-scorer Rogers banked his 56th first-class ton.

After Quiney was brilliantly caught by wicketkeeper Tim Ludeman, diving low to his left to complete a one-hander in front of first slip's bootlaces, Rogers and Hill put on 124 for the second wicket.

But Hill's promising knock ended when Johan Botha (1-43) beat the 24-year-old in flight and had him caught behind.

Handscomb, 21, then joined Rogers for a 136-run union which was broken when Rogers was dismissed with the initial delivery of the second new ball, lbw to Sayers.

Sayers struck again in his next over by bowling Hussey, who only arrived in Adelaide hours before the match, having travelled via Melbourne from Hobart after playing for Australia on Wednesday night.

Paceman Joe Mennie (1-62) then dismissed Handscomb before Sayers claimed his fourth wicket, John Hastings, for a duck.
