Australia's David Warner also created history in the match as he went past former greats Sir Don Bradman (334) and Mark Taylor's (334*) innings score with his record-breaking unbeaten knock of 335 runs on Saturday.

Warner also became the first cricketer to score a triple-ton at the Adelaide Oval and inked his name in the cricketing history books.
