David Warner hit a scintillating century in his farewell Test series as Australia reached 346 for five against Pakistan's inexperienced bowlers on the opening day on Thursday of the three-match series.
Warner's commanding 164 off 211 balls — his first Test century in a year — vindicated captain Pat Cummins' decision to bat first on a hard bouncy pitch.
The 37-year-old Warner, who will be retiring after the last Test in his Sydney hometown, made Pakistan toil in the first couple of sessions before he holed out at deep square leg in the last hour. He hit 16 fours and four sixes.
