IRREPRESSIBLE opener David Warner emulated greats from Don Bradman to Adam Gilchrist with a third-straight Test century before Australia stumbled seriously in Dubai.
Warner was clean bowled by leg-spinner Yasir Shah with the third ball after lunch, reducing Australia to 5-207 with debutant Mitchell Marsh an wickekeeper Brad Haddin yet to score, and Australia still trailing by 247 runs on the first innings.

WARNER JOINS GILLY IN HAT-TRICK CLUB
Opener Chris Rogers (38), No.3 Alex Doolan (5), skipper Michael Clarke (2) and Steve Smith (22) all departed in a morning session collapse of 4-78. Play was extended half an hour due to religious prayers and the tourists were saying theirs.
The joy of Warner's milestone with a boundary off Imran Khan (0-35) accompanied by trademark jump and kiss of the helmet – was soon dampened.
Smith flayed carelessly to Mohammad Hafeez off debutant leg-spinner Yasir Shah (1-30) just before lunch.
Clarke's exit caused most concern. Australia's best player of spin was lacking match practice on return from the hamstring strained against Zimbabwe on August 31.
Australia needed a captain's knock and someone to bat time but Clarke fell popping a bat pad chance to Rahat Aliat at short leg off impressive left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar (1-49).
Doolan attempted an ambitious run despite finding Rahat Ali at mid-on and was caught short when deviating from a vertical path home. The Tasmania couldn't lift gear a 34-ball stay.
Rogers was cramped for room by Rahat Ali after 38 runs in 130 balls.
