David Warner hits third century in a row

David Warner has become the seventh Australian batsman to score centuries in three or more consecutive Test innings.

Warner hit a cover drive to the boundary before leaping in the air to celebrate his 128-ball hundred and ninth in 31 matches on Friday’s third day of play in the first Test against Pakistan in Dubai.

Adam Gilchrist is the only other Australian to complete the feat since Don Bradman in 1948.
