Australia vs Pakistan 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: David Warner brought up his 26th Test century Thursday and his first in a year to silence his critics.
Australia vs Pakistan 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: David Warner slammed his 26th century to power Australia to 210/2 at Tea against Pakistan in the ongoing first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The under pressure opener, who is playing his final Test series, responded in typical swashbuckling fashion, crashing 14 fours and one giant six to reach his ton off 125 balls on day one. Earlier, Usman Khawaja was out for 41 and Marnus Labuschagne departed for 16. (SCORECARD)
Here are the Highlights of Australia vs Pakistan 1st Test Day 1 from Perth:
- The two Aussie openers proved Pat Cummins’ decision to bat first correct as they went aggressively right from the start. They did survive a few scares and Usman Khawaja was also dropped by Abdullah Shafique early on which proved to be a bit costly for the visitors. David Warner and Khawaja added over 100 runs before Lunch with the former registering a quick-fire fifty as well which put the hosts in a commanding position. The Pakistani pacers struggled with their line and lengths and their lead bowler, Shaheen Afridiwent for a few too many runs. They were able to find some rhythm just before the end of the first session with Agha Salman also using his off-breaks well to check the runs but without any rewards.
- !A fantastic Day 1 for the Aussies comes to an end! The highlight was of course the smashing big daddy hundred from the ‘Pocket Dynamo’, David Warner. He also went past Matthew Hayden and Michael Clarke to break into the top 5 leading run-scorers for Australia in Test cricket. That exceptional knock helped the Aussies to end the Day with 346 runs with still half their side left to bat. Pakistan were outplayed in the first session but in the next two sessions, they were able to pull things back a bit especially after Tea. The visitors will look to make early inroads on Day 2 to get through to the lower order of the hosts and wrap things up as quickly as possible.
- 83.60KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHExcellent delivery to end the day! Khurram Shahzad bowls it on a good length, slanting back in, just outside off, Mitchell Marsh is made to play at the delivery but the ball moves away enough to beat the bat again. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 1!
- 83.50KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHDelivers it outside off again, on a good length, Mitchell Marsh shoulders arms to the delivery.
- 83.40KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHSharp delivery! On a hard length, on off, Mitchell Marsh stays back looking at the shortness of the delivery. The ball shoots off the deck and catches the shoulder of the bat. Marsh does well to defend it with soft hands as the ball rolls towards gully.
- 83.30KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHPeach of a delivery! Serves it on a length, angling in on the fifth stump line, Mitchell Marsh presents a straight bat to keep it out but the ball straightens off the deck and Marsh gets beaten on the outside edge.
- 83.20KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHLands it outside off again, on a length, Mitchell Marsh is not bothered it and lets the ball pass.
- 83.10KHURRAM SHAHZAD TO MITCHELL MARSHOn a good length but a bit too wide outside off, left alone by Mitchell Marsh.
- 82.60SHAHEEN AFRIDI TO ALEX CAREYBeauty to end the over! Pitches this one in the channel on off, on a length, Alex Carey gets drawn forward in defence but the ball nips away late and goes past the outside edge.
- 82.54SHAHEEN AFRIDI TO ALEX CAREYFOUR! Easy pickings! Shaheen Afridi tries a bit too hard and ends up slipping this one down leg, on a fuller length, Alex Carey does not miss out as he rolls his wrists and glances it towards the fine leg fence for a boundary.
