Only England right-hander Joe Root has more Test centuries than Williamson among current players, with the former New Zealand captain once again at his brilliant best as he reached triple figures with yet another knock that put his side in a dominant position.
Williamson's innings - along with a steady knock of 44 from young gun Rachin Ravindra - helped New Zealand build a lead in excess of 400 on the third day of their Test against England.
