VIDEO: Warner makes history with blazing SCG century

  New Delhi: David Warner smashed a brilliant hundred to become the first player to score a hundred in the opening session of a test in Australia as he led the hosts to 126-0 at lunch on the first day of the third test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday. Warner's sparkling 100 not out, with 17 boundaries, seized momentum for the series sweep-chasing hosts, after captain Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat. It is just the fifth time in test history a century has been scored in the first session of a match. Warner joins fellow Australians Victor Trumper (1902 in Manchester), Charlie Macartney (1926 in Leeds) and Don Bradman (1930 in Leeds) as well as Pakistan's Majid Khan (1976 in Karachi) among those to have achieved the feat.   Watch the video here:
