DARIUS Boyd has scored his second try of the night as the Maroons narrowed the gap after the Blues took an eight point lead.
The dangerous left-edge pairing of Inglis and Boyd struck again after the Blues had shot out to an eight point lead early in the second half after a Trent Hodkinson penalty.
But after Boyd's second four-pointer the scored had been reduced to 12-8 with Johnathan Thurston unable to convert.
Jarryd Hayne and Brett Morris crossed as the Blues went to the half-time break with a 10-4 lead over the Maroons.
Boyd scored the first try of the night as the Maroons dominated the opening exchanges.
But the Blues settled and from there played with composure.
Brett Morris levelled the scores and injured his shoulder in the process but resumed his place in the backline.
A Brett Hodkinson penatly goal gave the Blues the lead for the first time before Jarryd Hayne scored in the closing stages of the half although the Queensland crowd were not happy with the try believing Hayne had been tackled by Johnathan Thurston. Referee Shane Hayne said Thurston had not completed the tackle.
Queensland received a setback after halfback Cooper Cronk left the field with a broken arm with his place taken by Daly Cherry-Evans.
Boyd's second try was the 14th of his Origin careeer.
