**Hamilton, New Zealand:** Kane Williamson etched his name into cricketing history during the second innings of the third Test against England at Seddon Park, Hamilton. His seventh Test century at this venue and his 20th in New Zealand propelled him to the third-fastest batsman to reach 33 Test centuries. This monumental achievement further solidified New Zealand’s strong position in the match, leaving England facing a daunting target. Williamson’s innings, however, ended in unusual fashion when he kicked his own stumps, providing a surprising end to his record-breaking performance. The match continues, with England facing an uphill battle to avoid a series whitewash.
