David Warner stroked his way to his maiden triple hundred on Day 2 of the second Test at Adelaide against Pakistan. The opening batsman became the seventh Australian batsman to score a triple hundred. With the milestone, Warner also recorded the best individual score for any batsman at Adelaide, surpassing 299 not out by Sir Don Bradman.
Australia are placed beautifully in this Test match as Pakistan continue to look for answers, a plenty of them. The hosts had surpassed the 550-run mark before Tea and will be looking to declare as soon as they reach the 600-run mark.
Pakistan have had a difficult outing with the ball as Warner toyed with the bowlers. Pakistan's two experienced bowlers - Mohammad Abbas and Yashir Shah - have also not been able to produce any inspiration.
As soon as Warner reached the landmark, reactions started pouring in from all quarters on Twitter. Here's a look at some of the best reactions.

What a list!
David Warner becomes the fourth batsman to hit a triple-hundred against Pakistan after Sir Gary Sobers, Mark Taylor and Virender Sehwag #AUSvPAK #Cricket — Saj Sadiq (@Saj_PakPassion) November 30, 2019
Remarkable achievement!
For the cracking rate at which he has scored runs, this is a remarkable triple century by @davidwarner31, even allowing for poor Pak bowling attack. Unless he makes a mistake out of fatigue or Aus declare to pick up some wickets, Brian Lara’s record score unsafe today

Special 300
A 300 is special. @davidwarner31 is making up very quickly for a lean Ashes. And spare a thought for Yasir Shah who is about to go past 200 again — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) November 30, 2019
Just for laughs!
warner has now made more than the entire bangladesh batting line up did in both innings combined in the previous pink ball test #AUSvPAK

Dry run in Ashes must have inspired this knock
Not just the Ashes slump but everything that went before. The emotion poured out when he reached 300. Meant a lot to @davidwarner31 #AUSvPAK pic.twitter.com/4FUsBlv22h — Gautam Bhimani (@gbhimani) November 30, 2019
A 300 is a 300 is a 300
You know what’s really, really easy? Sitting on the couch and belittling an innings because it’s at home, or against a team that’s struggling, or not in an Ashes series.
You know what’s really, really bloody hard? Making a Test triple-century, ever, against anyone.#AUSvPAK
