After being forced to quit due to a cramp, David Warner is anticipated to be capable of resuming his double century on the third day according to teammate Steve Smith.

The doctors had a hard day as Melbourne saw temperatures that reached 40 degrees. When Warner was in the 120s in the 56th over, he first had cramps, and they reappeared more severely as he got closer to his double century in the evening session.

Steve Smith Hopefull Of David Warner Getting Out In The Field Tomorrow

David Warner reached the amazing feat after receiving serious care on the outfield, but he was only just able to rejoice before he was unable to continue and had to be taken off the field. Nonetheless, after rehydrating in the changing room, his post-game condition improved. Steve Smith provided an update on the Australian opener.

“I think he’s alright now,” Steven Smith said. “He’s had some fluids. He’s been in the ice bath. He was having some food before so hopefully he can pull up well and get out there next tomorrow. It was pretty energy-sapping, it was pretty hot. It wasn’t the most comfortable day at the crease. Boys were cramping left, right and centre.”
