Finely poised at tea on day three

Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell tipped the balance back towards England with both batsmen 37 not out at tea.

The game ebbed and flowed with England at 49 for 3 and Australia seemingly in control before Pietersen and Bell dug in to see England at 123 for 3 at tea with a lead of 91. 

Ryan Harris had England rocking with all three wickeets to fall. He had Alastair Cook caught behind by Haddin for 22, Joe Root bowled for 2 and Trott also caught behind by Haddin for 23.
With runs hard to come by the full house watching at the Emirates Durham ICG have a tense and very important session afte tea which will have a big influence on the outcome of the fourth test.
