Can the weather save England?published at 01:40 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2017
BBC Weather's Sarah Keith-Lucas: "The weather for the final day of the third Test in Perth is looking rather changeable. During the morning, there is a high chance of intermittent showers which could be heavy and thundery with squally winds too. During the afternoon, the winds will ease and the showers should gradually fade away. Top temperatures will reach around 21C."

It rained hard last night and started again at about 8am local time. It's been on and off since then, with the suggestion being that the weather will clear this afternoon. The problem seems to be how much rain has got under the covers. Joe Root has been in conversation with the fourth umpire.
