\"DavidMelbourne: Opening batsman David Warner’s<\/a> blistering 144 propelled Australia to 278-2 after Pakistan declared their first innings at 443-9 on the third day of the second cricket Test here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Left-handed Warner smacked 17 fours and a six during his 143-ball stay that saw him register his 17th Test century on a batting-friendly pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).<\/p>\n

He shared a 198-run partnership with Usman Khawaja (95 not out) for the second wicket as the hosts replied strongly to Pakistan’s 443-9 declared, that was driven by opener Azhar Ali’s brilliant 205 not out.<\/p>\n

The day was also historic for Ali, who resumed at 139 not out and went on to post the first double century by a Pakistan batsman in Australia.<\/p>\n

He got good support from fast bowler Sohail Khan, who hammered a run-a-ball 65, featuring six fours and four sixes.<\/p>\n

They forged a 118-run eighth wicket stand after Pakistan lost Mohammad Amir, who managed to add merely a run to his overnight score of 28. Amir hit left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc down the leg side to wicket-keeper Matthew Wade.<\/p>\n

As 31-year-old Ali went about his business, Sohail picked out off-spinner Nathan Lyon for punishment, tonking him for three sixes.<\/p>\n

He ran himself out, with Pakistan at 435-8 and paceman Josh Hazlewood removed No.11 batsman Wahab Riaz for one. And the visitors declared their innings at 443-9, with Ali remaining unbeaten on 205 from 364 deliveries out of which 20 were fours.<\/p>\n

Ali’s knock was the second highest score by a visiting batsman at the MCG after West Indian legend Viv Richards’ 208 in 1984.<\/p>\n

In reply, the hosts lost opener Matthew Renshaw for 10, bowled by a beauty from leg-spinner Yasir Shah, but Warner and Khawaja then played with panache.<\/p>\n

Shah was particularly loose, and conceded six an over, while Riaz’s left-arm pace was also crunched around the famous old ground as Australia reached tea on 131-1, with Warner making 77 off 78 balls.<\/p>\n

Wahab thought he had Warner soon after the break but was adjudged no ball — the middle of a hat-trick of no balls as the quick bowler was plagued by problems placing his front foot.<\/p>\n

Instead, Warner brought up his 17th Test century and first at the MCG when he sent the 113th delivery he had faced away for four.<\/p>\n

Warner accelerated to 144 from 143 balls before he was given out on review, with replays showing a mark on his glove as he swung at a Wahab delivery.<\/p>\n

Khawaja and captain Steven Smith (10 not out) reached stumps unscathed and will resume on day four with Australia 165 runs adrift.<\/p>\n

Brief scores: Pakistan 443\/9 declared (Azhar Ali 205, Sohail Khan 65; Josh Hazlewood 3-50, Jackson Bird 3-113); Australia 278-2 (David Warner 144, Usman Khawaja batting 95; Wahab Riaz 1-77) on third day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
