[Comments][2]
Michael Hussey's second hundred of the 2010/11 Ashes has kept
[**Australia**][3] in pole position for a series-levelling victory in a
fluctuating third Test.
Hussey, yet to fall for under 50 in five attempts this winter, was 111 not out
in a second-innings 297 for eight at tea on day three on his home ground.
Despite another fine pace-bowling performance from Chris Tremlett, Australia
therefore led by 378 - putting the onus on [**England**][4] to bat far better
second time round than first if they are to pull off an Ashes-clinching win at
the Waca.
Tremlett (four for 76) took two of four wickets for the addition of only 32
runs, after Australia had appeared set to bat on for the remainder of the day
and set a record-breaking fourth-innings target.
They remained strong favourites to prevail, thanks largely to the prolific
Hussey's 136-ball 13th Test century - completed with one of his trademark,
expertly placed and controlled pulls off Tremlett for his 13th four.

England had fallen further off the pace this morning as Hussey and Shane
Watson (95) completed a century stand for the fourth wicket.
The tourists had entertained ambitions of retaining the Ashes before Christmas
when they bowled Australia out for only 268 on day one here.
But they were undone by Mitchell Johnson's wonderful swing bowling yesterday,
and then managed only the wicket of opener Watson in the first session today.
A breakthrough was needed increasingly urgently by the time Tremlett supplied
it.
Watson missed out on a hundred yet again, making today the 14th time he has
passed a Test 50 and then failed to convert it to three figures.
He left with a withering look for umpire Marais Erasmus too. But, after taking
the lbw verdict to DRS, the accepted proof was there that there was no inside
edge and Watson was struck in front.
Within minutes, Australia were on the right side of a review when new batsman
Steven Smith was given not out by Billy Doctrove.
Whether the decision was for lbw or caught at first slip was not clear, but it
was soon evident that Smith was staying put in either case.
Hussey had a significant scare from the last ball before lunch, having to go
to DRS to show the ball hitting him too high and therefore overturning
Erasmus' decision that he was lbw to Tremlett.
Smith won another marginal lbw rethink from the third umpire, on 28, when
James Anderson thought for a moment he had his 200th Test wicket.
But Tremlett's short, leg-side line of attack from round the wicket ended a
stand of 75 when Smith fended one behind to Matt Prior.
Tremlett's awkward length confused Brad Haddin, who deflected the ball down on
to his stumps; then, either side of Hussey's hundred, Johnson and Ryan Harris
came and went for just a single each.
Paul Collingwood replaced an out-of-sorts Graeme Swann and had Johnson poking
a catch to cover, and Harris continued his miserable run of scores when he
pulled Steven Finn (three for 97) into the hands of deep midwicket.
Swann failed to hold a chance at cover after Collingwood brought another
mistimed drive, out of Peter Siddle on nought this time. The equation already
facing England was one which left no room for any more missed opportunities.
