Australia needs to take seven wickets on the final day to claim victory over the West Indies in the first Test in Perth, with the tourists chasing an unlikely victory target of 498. Follow all the action in our live blog.

Australia's vaunted bowling attack has battled in fourth innings pretty regularly in the past few years.
