Williamson joins Lord's 100 club

London - Kane Williamson became just the 13th New Zealand batsman to score a Test hundred at Lord's when he reached three figures against England on the third day of the first Test on Saturday.

His innings was the 14th Test century by a New Zealander at Lord's, with Martin Crowe - one of Williamson's mentors - having achieved the feat twice.

Williamson, 92 out overnight, completed his hundred in just over three hours, facing 148 balls, including 12 fours.
