编写代码，可以将给定的英文文本字符串中的句子进行切分，并返回一个由句子组成的列表。


"This is the first sentence. This is the second sentence. And this is the third."
```python
text = "This is the first sentence. This is the second sentence. And this is the third."
sentences = text.split('. ')
print(sentences)
```

Output:
```
['This is the first sentence', 'This is the second sentence', 'And this is the third.']
```
