Hat-trick of Ashes centuries - Stumps on day 3

Ian Bell scored his third hundred of the series to bring back England from 49 for 3 to 234 for 5 and set up a big day at the Emirates Durham ICG on Monday.

Bell came to the crease with England's lead just 17 and walked back to the pavillion unbeaten with his team leading Australia by 202.

Kevin Pietersen fell six short of 50 to the bowling of Nathan Lyon, as he edged the ball to Chris Rogers, after a rescue partnership with Bell of 106.

Jonny Bairstow made 28 before being caught behind, leaving nightwatchman Tim Bresnan to play out the final overs with Bell, the century hero.
