Kane Williamson achieved a remarkable 33rd test century, strengthening New Zealand's position against England at Hamilton on the third rain-interrupted day. Under the floodlights at Seddon Park, Williamson, alongside Daryl Mitchell, advanced their tally to 274 for four at the tea break.

Williamson was unbeaten on 123, having resumed earlier from 50, while Daryl Mitchell remained not out at 18.
