Veteran opener David Warner hammered a gritty 164 to silence the critics and steer Australia to 346-5 against an inconsistent Pakistan attack in the first Test on Thursday. 

The 37-year-old batted for much of Day One before finally departing to Aamer Jamal, two balls after smashing the debutant for six. At stumps, Mitchell Marsh was unbeaten on 15 and Alex Carey not out 14.
