Warner was batting with gay abandon and not allowing the bowlers to settle down. He and Clarke took the hosts past 100 before lunch.

In-form Brad Haddin then forged a much-needed 124-run stand with Smith. Haddin scored a responsible yet stroke-filled 55 after previously scoring two fifties and a hundred in the first two Tests.

Steven Smith then took centrestage, in an enterprising unfinished stand for the seventh wicket with Mitchell Johnson, completing his second ton and first at home. His 103* was laced with 13 fours and two sixes. Australia end the day at 326 for 6 after 87 overs.
