• Warner thrills with run-a-ball 144
• Australia trim deficit to 165 runs
• Azhar completes double-century before Pakistan declare

Having spent more than nine-and-a-half hours at the crease, clattering 20 boundaries, Azhar tucked away two runs off paceman Mitchell Starc to bring up the 200 and gave a running jump for joy before ripping off his helmet.

"It certainly is a big achievement," 31-year-old Azhar, who was given a standing ovation by the crowd, told reporters.

"It's a big, big tour for our team. So I was very focused and really wanted to get there."
