It looks like there is no stopping Australia's opener David Warner as he continues to weave his magic and accumulate runs in the second Test at Adelaide. Warner became the seventh Australian batsmen to have scored a triple century off 389 balls, lasting for 519 minutes in the centre and adding more to his tally as he continued his onslaught on the Pakistan bowlers. Warner's knock until his triple ton featured 37 boundaries as the opener skillfully stroked his way around the park. After building a hundred run partnership with Steve Smith, Warner went on to do the same with Wade, taking Australia to 598-3 at which skipper Tim Paine declared the innings. David Warner was given a Guard of Honour by his teammates as Tim Paine declared the innings.
