Marnus misses ton as runs flow at Gabba

Test star Marnus Labuschagne was out short of a century but the runs have continued to pile up in the Sheffield Shield match between Queensland and Western Australia at the Gabba.

At lunch on day three the Bulls were 2-257 in response to WA's first innings 5(dec)-458 with Bryce Street (91) and Usman Khawaja (32) the not out batsmen.

Labuschagne was out for 92 when he edged a Joel Paris ball to midwicket, Liam Guthrie pouching the catch to leave the prolific Queenslander shy of a 17th first-class century.

But it was the lone wicket to fall in another session dominated by the bat, with only a sporting declaration likely to open the door up for a win.

Opener Street was mostly watchful, but punished the loose deliveries in his unbeaten 275-ball innings.

On Sunday, WA's Cameron Green (251) had scored his first Shield double century to move top of the competition's run scorers.
