Last over of the day? Jonny Bairstow may need to change his gloves in this next few minutes...

Malan 106, Bairstow 74
Daddy hundreds will be the talk of the camp if England get through to stumps with these two men well set. England are scoring at six an over with the new ball.
One wicket would change everything though...

In Hong Kong trying to delay the flight boarding in anticipation of the ton. I don't think the staff share my enthusiasm.

England bring up the 300 - not many people would have predicted that in the hour after lunch when it was zipping around at ear height.

David Kohn: Now considering name change to Dawid.
Harry Gasper: A classy century from Dawid Malan which included some of the best shots of the series so far. Very positive partnership with Jonny Bairstow. England clearly decided to attack today.
Jack Blackburn: Well done Dawid Malan. An innings of maturity and crucial for England. It’s the newbies who are standing up in this series.

Malan 106, Bairstow 72
Mitchell Starc sends a seaming, swerving delivery into the pads of Jonny Bairstow but it's very leg sided.
No review called for. Bairstow then streaks an edge through third man for another boundary.

Maw Holmes: So, who had Dawid Malan down for first England century of the series...? Anyone...?
Josh Withers: Cometh the hour cometh Malan. You absolute beauty.
John Box: Malan for SPOTY
Jack Tayler: Paris, Rome, or Malan?

That's the 10th-highest score in Perth by an English player. And counting.
Where does this leave England? Still with work to do? Or a good day so far.

It is the first century by an England number five since Moeen Ali made 117, external against India in Rajkot in 2016.

That was a much-needed century - for Dawid Malan and for England.
Malan then punches a wonderful drive through the covers for four more.

BBC Test Match SpecialThere's nothing better than this. We've just sat through half an hour of fairly drab, cat and mouse cricket, waiting for the new ball to be taken, and now the tempo of the game has changed.

The 100 clubpublished at 09:44 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2017
Image source, GettDawid Malan is the 164th England player to score a century in Test cricket, and the first new member of the 100 club since Keaton Jennings hit 112 in Mumbai last December.
Malan is only the sixth member of the current England side to score a Test hundred. Much needed.
