On the pads again, worked towards the leg side.

Taylor comes down the track to this floated ball and defends.

Floated on off, pushed towards mid off.

Taylor again dances down and blocks.

Maiden to start the second session. Floated delivery on middle and off, Taylor is solid in his defense.

First run of the session as Williamson pushes this one towards cover and takes a single.

Taylor takes this one on the full and paddles this towards the leg side for a single.

The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

Down the leg side by Root, Taylor looks to pull but misses. The ball goes off the keeper's glove over the leg slip fielder and the batters steal a bye.

Williamson prods forward and defends this one.

Run out chance missed! How many lives has Kane Williamson got? Floated ball on off, Williamson pushes this one towards mid off and sets off. Curran there picks up the ball and goes for a direct hit towards the non-striker's end but misses. Had he hit, Williamson was gone for all money and that too so close to his ton. The ball goes towards fine leg as the back up fielder fails to collect it and Williamson is back on strike as he gets a couple. Moves to 99 with that.

On the pads, worked towards square leg.

FOUR! 100 for Kane Williamson! He has surely been lucky to get to this milestone but a man makes his own luck. Floated on middle and off, Williamson gets down on one knee and sweeps this one through backward square leg for a boundary. This is the Kiwi skipper's 21st Test hundred but this should be counted among his lucky ones.

Another one on the pads, flicked towards the leg side.

Full and around off, eased through the covers for a single.

Floated generously outside off, pushed through the covers for a run.

Short now, outside off, cut straight to backward point.

Full and outside off, Rosco gets down and laps it through fine leg for a couple.

Very full, outside off, drilled through the covers for one.

Full and around off, Williamson lunges and smothers it.

ALMOST A CATCH! Full on middle and leg, Taylor looks to flick but the bat hits the ground and the ball flies towards short mid-wicket. Rory Burns dives to his left but the ball falls short of him.

FOUR! THRASH! Into the 90s! Full and around off, Taylor gets down and mows the slog sweep over mid-wicket for a boundary! 200-RUN STAND IS UP AS WELL!

SIX! 99 is the score for Rosco! Full and around middle, Taylor gets down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket. There is a man in the deep but it does not matter as the ball sails over!

SIX! Another massive hit and there comes the century! His 19th in Tests. Full and outside off, Rosco gets down and mows the slog sweep again, well over mid-wicket! He really likes this venue. 1066 runs in Tests here, at an average of 56.10, with 6 centuries and 2 fifties in 23 innings. Gets it in the nick of time too, with the heavens about to open up.

Punched off the back foot by the batsman.

Full and around off, well defended.
