We study the algebraic combinatorics of monomial degenerations of Plücker forms which is governed by matching fields in the sense of Sturmfels and Zelevinsky. We provide a necessary condition for a matching field to yield a SAGBI basis of the Plücker algebra for 3-planes in n-space. When the ideal associated to the matching field is quadratically generated this condition is both necessary and sufficient. Finally, we describe a family of matching fields, called 2-block diagonal, whose ideals are quadratically generated. These matching fields produce a new family of toric degenerations of Gr(3,n).
