Swashbuckling opener David Warner continued his strong showing in the Test series against Bangladesh as he brought up his second century of the series in consecutive innings. This is the hard-hitting opening batsman’s 20th Test ton.
He is now second on the list of Australian openers with most Test tons, behind another left-handed big hitter Matthew Hayden, who has 30 centuries to his name.
Warner, who reached the three-figure mark on the third day of the second Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, after the first session was washed away due to rain, was unbeaten at stumps on the second day at 88 after sharing an unbeaten century stand with Peter Handscomb.
On his way to century, he also rode his luck with two reprieves earlier on the second day. He was dropped at short-leg on 52 and then Mushfiqur Rahim missed a stumping when he was on 73.
His hundred put Australia in a dominating position, as they are looking to draw the two-match series after losing the first Test to the hosts after a dramatic final day collapse.
