Thanks to everyone who tuned in.

The team will be back in action to cover the fifth and final day of the Perth Test tomorrow afternoon.

Goodnight!

Marnus Labuschagne continued to piece together a sublime Perth Test appearance on day four, backing up his 204 in the first innings with an unbeaten 104 and a terrific catch close to the bat.

But Australia's victory push in the first Test of the summer was halted by a Pat Cummins injury and a tremendous century by West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite.

Stumps are called on day four with the West Indies 3-192, chasing 498 runs to win.

Captain Kraigg Brathwaite compiled a glorious 101 from 166 not out and will resume in the middle with No.5 Kyle Mayers, who's yet to get off the mark.

Marnus Labuschagne takes a ripper!

Australia's first drop lunges low to his right for a brilliant reflex catch at short leg off the bowling of Nathan Lyon, sending Jermaine Blackwood walking.

"Oh, my goodness, that is a good catch!" Ian Smith says on the Fox Cricket coverage.

"Nathan Lyon has done it again and Marnus has backed up the words (sledging) with deeds."

The West Indies are 3-191 from 60 overs.

West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite sweeps Nathan Lyon and collects a single to reach triple figures, bringing up a century in 157 balls.

"Brilliant stuff," Ian Smith says on the Fox Cricket coverage.

"There have been few less warranted than that one.

"That is just one of the most amazing performances."

The West Indies are 2-191.

A second West Indies wicket falls as Nathan Lyon lets rip a cracker.

The veteran Australian off-spinner draws the outside of Shamarh Brooks' bat and Steve Smith takes a catch at first slip.

"That's a beautiful piece of bowling," Adam Gilchrist says on the Fox Cricket coverage.

The West Indies, set 498 runs to win, are 2-133 after 41 overs.

One over after dropping Tagenarine Chanderpaul at fine leg, Mitchell Starc sends the son of a gun packing as he chops on.

The son of West Indies icon Shivnarine Chanderpaul loses his wicket for 45.

"A good start to hopefully a very long Test career," says West Indies legend Brian Lara on the Fox Cricket broadcast.

Chanderpaul made 51 and 45 on an impressive Test debut in Perth.

The West Indies are 1-116 after 36 overs and Starc is now level with Craig McDermott on 291 Test wickets.

Mitchell Starc gives Tagenarine Chanderpaul a life as he drops the debutant at fine leg.

Chanderpaul hooks a Cameron Green delivery 35 overs into the West Indies' innings and receives a huge dose of luck.

Starc runs about 20 metres, dives and gets both hands to the ball, but he can't hold on.

"He's got a great pair of hands, Mitchell Starc, but unfortunately it just kept drifing away and he couldn't get hold of it," Mark Waugh says on the Fox Cricket coverage.

"Cameron Green is frustrated, the Australians are very frustrated at what's going on at the moment."

Isa Guha adds: "No, that one hurt".

Tagenarine Chanderpaul hooks a Cameron Green short ball to fine leg to collect a single and bring up 100 runs for the West Indies, who are chasing 498 to win.

Chanderpaul has made 38 and Kraigg Brathwaite 51.

In an indication of just how unlikely it is that the West Indies will hunt down the 498 to win, the highest successful fourth-innings chase in Test history is 7-418.

That was actually achieved by the West Indies, who stunned Australia at St John's in 2003.

The final session of day four of the Perth Test is underway.
