Auckland, 27/2: Kane Williamson cemented his claim as New Zealand’s greatest Test batsman after he eclipsed Ross Taylor as the nation’s leading run-scorer on the way to an inspirational century against England in the second test on Monday.
The former captain hit paceman James Anderson through midwicket for four with the fourth ball of the morning at Wellington’s Basin Reserve on day four to pass Taylor’s mark of 7,683 runs.
By tea, Williamson had chalked up his 26th century in Tests to give the hosts some hope of pulling off an unlikely win after they were asked to follow on.
