Warner was dismissed for 66 on Day One after helping his side to a positive start in tricky weather conditions.
But eagle-eyed viewers spotted him battling against The Sun’s crossword book.
One of which was commentator and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting who doubted Warner’s ability to complete the puzzle book.
Ponting said: “I was trying to get a close-up to see if it was a kids’ one or not.
“But it is The Sun crossword.”
Nasser Hussain then said: “You know Davy Warner quite well, how do you think he will be getting on there?
“Alex Carey is there, maybe he can help.”
To which Ponting replied: “I think Carey will love a bit of that, Davy hand the pen over!”

A third said: “Dave Warner doing a crossword. I don’t think so.”
While a fourth added: “Warner pretending to do a crossword, when we all know it’s a dot-to-dot colouring book he’s attempting to complete.”
