Marnus Labuschagne has fired with bat and ball in Townsville, snagging a key wicket to help Queensland reduce Tasmania to 4-215 at lunch on day four of the Sheffield Shield match.
The visitors were outclassed throughout the opening three days, having been set a target of 438 on Friday after Usman Khawaja declarations at 6-487 and 1-132.
But Tigers opener Caleb Jewell led a spirited fightback, threatening to post the second hundred of his first-class career after rallying Tasmania to 3-173 on Saturday.
But then Labuschagne, whose legspin snapped England's stubborn ninth-wicket stand that threatened to deny Australia victory in the decisive fourth Test of the 2019 Ashes, stepped up.
Jewell was trapped LBW by Labuschagne on 90, misreading a ball that turned sharply.
Labuschagne, who was fined for excessive appealing earlier this month, punched the air with both fists and was mobbed by teammates after the umpire raised his finger.
Labuschagne is one of seven bowlers that Khawaja has enlisted in Tasmania's second innings.
The star batter, who put the game on Queensland's terms with a first-innings knock of 136 then raced to 60 not out in 46 balls on day three, has figures of 1-25 from 11 overs.
Former Tasmania seamer Gurinder Sandhu, playing his first Shield game for the Bulls, trapped Jordan Silk LBW for a third-ball duck in Saturday's morning session.
Charlie Wakim, bowled by left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann, was the other wicket to fall on the morning of day four.
Jake Doran is 30 not out while captain Beau Webster is unbeaten on 24.
