Lovell's maiden ton puts Queensland in the box seat against NSW
Written by I Dig SportsQueensland 406 for 5 (Lovell 146*, McDermott 87, Hearne 58, Khawaja 58, Hadley 2-63) lead New South Wales 239 (Patterson 91, Edwards 88, Lovell 3-13) by 167 runs
Lovell went to stumps on day three unbeaten on 146 after crafting a patient innings at Cricket Central in western Sydney.
All of the Bulls' top-six got starts as they raced past NSW's first-innings total of 239.
His unbeaten century continues a superb game for Lovell, who took 3 for 13 with the ball from just 4.3 overs to clean up the hosts' tail, having come into the game off the back of making an unbeaten 250 for Queensland's second XI against Victoria's second XI a fortnight ago.
Queensland will need to be aggressive with the bat on the final day to establish a lead before trying to claim 10 wickets.
