12.20pmThat's lunch on day four in Perth. Australia lost Warner on the fourth morning, but Labuschagne backed up his first-innings double-hundred with a ton in the second to lift the lead to nearly 500. Here is the man of the moment: "Obviously, had a bit of luck with the bouncer and always nice," Labuschagne says. "Very proud. I played some rogue shots and tried to compose myself. Great spell from Joseph - he was hitting 145kph. There's a reason I was in a hurry." Gnasher will be back with you after the break.

Pari: "Labuschagne and Smith makes it look like they bat on a different pitch."

Tulett: "Cameron Green, playing in his first test at his home ground, won't even get to bat. That's cruel."
