SYDNEY (Reuters) - England opening bowler James Anderson is unlikely to get the same swing and movement that made him "very damaging" during the second Ashes test but will still be a handful early on in Perth, Australia's Cameron Bancroft has said.

Anderson was at his unplayable best with the pink ball in Australia's second innings in the day-night test in Adelaide and took 5-43 to bowl the hosts out for 138 and give his side an outside chance of squaring the series.
