Williamson notched up his 32nd Test century, making history as the fastest player to reach this feat in just 172 innings, surpassing the previous record holder, Steve Smith.

South Africa’s bowlers found it challenging to contain Williamson, who displayed exceptional composure and skill as he led New Zealand’s pursuit of 267 runs. The former captain’s century played a pivotal role in shifting the momentum back in New Zealand’s favor after a shaky start.
