Australia needs seven wickets to win the first Test against West Indies, who must survive one more day, requiring a nominal 306 more runs to win at Perth Stadium.
Another magnificent Marnus Labuschagne century helped Australia to 2-182 at lunch on day four — a lead of 497 runs — before declaring and starting its quest for 10 wickets to win.
But the home side had to do it without skipper Pat Cummins, who was rested for the first session of the innings with a quad strain, but returned later in the day with hopes of bowling on day five.
