BRISBANE, Nov 4 AAP - Queensland off-spinner Nathan Hauritz claimed three quick wickets to leave England faltering in its run chase in the three-day tour cricket match at Allan Border Field today.
At tea on the final day, England was 6-292 in its first innings in reply to Queensland's 582.
Hauritz (3-32 from 14 overs) claimed Michael Vaughan (127), captain Nasser Hussain (27) and John Crawley (seven) to take the sting from England's run chase.
The tourists were on track when the classy Vaughan and Mark Butcher (45) were cruising through a 92-run stand before Butcher was caught behind off Ashley Noffke in the first over after tea.
Hussain looked scratchy in his 71-minute stay before he skied an edge to Michael Kasprowicz, who took an excellent running catch in the outfied.
Vaughan hit 23 fours and one six before he was trapped LBW playing back to Hauritz in his first long spell since returning from Australia's recent Test and one-day tours.
Crawley didn't look comfortable during his 40-ball stay, while Alec Stewart was unbeaten on 11 at the break.
