David Warner survived being bowled off a no-ball to forge a century partnership with Marnus Labuschagne as Australia took control of the first Ashes Test against England at the Gabba on Thursday.

Ben Stokes bowled Warner when the score was 30, but the all-rounder had overstepped to give the Australia opening batsman a reprieve.

Australia went to lunch at 113-1 in reply to England's first innings of 147, with Warner unbeaten on 48 alongside Labuschagne, not out 53.

England needed to take all their chances to keep their hopes of salvaging anything from the first Test after their disastrous start on Wednesday when they were bowled out in just 50.1 overs.
