Three loop calculations and inclusive $V_{cb}$

We discuss the impact of the recent $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^3)$ calculations of the semileptonic width of the $b$ quark and of the relation between pole and kinetic heavy quark masses by Fael et al. on the inclusive determination of $|V_{cb}|$. The most notable effects are a small increase in the value $|V_{cb}|$ and a reduction of the uncertainty. Our final result is $|V_{cb}|=42.16(50), 10^{-3}$.
