WATCH : David Warner saved by no-ball on 99 before scoring his 21st century

Warner’s innings today was as fluent as a typical Warner inning could be, but once the opener reached the 90-run mark, he had to labour his way through to complete his Test century. His lack of confidence in the nervous nineties clearly shown when at 99, England debutant Tom Curran extracted a leading edge off Warner's bat that found Stuart Broad at mid-on to seemingly give Curran his first Test wicket.

Warner looked dejected and the opening batsman started walking off the ground with England players celebrating Curran's memorable wicket. However, the umpire decided to check for a front-foot no-ball and the replays were sufficient to frustrate the English team and fans to the limit. It showed that the right-arm pacer had marginally over-stepped the front line and Kumar Dharmasena held out his right arm to confirm the no-ball. 

Seeing that, the southpaw returned to the crease and took full advantage of the life, nudging the next ball onto the leg-side for a single to bring up three figures and celebrated the century with his typical style, removing his helmet and leaping in the air to greet the MCG crowd.
