New South Wales have turned the screws on Queensland's batters at the Gabba as the bottom-placed Blues seek a win to kick-start their flagging Sheffield Shield campaign.
Queensland went to the tea break on day two at 7-170, still 150 shy of NSW's strong first innings tally.
Max Bryant (40) offered the strongest resistance among Queensland's top-order with a quickfire 40 only to shoulder arms and allow a Ben Dwarshuis delivery to cannon into his stumps.
