Tim Southee, once half of the most feared new-ball partnership in the game, brought down the curtain on a glittering 16-year test career after New Zealand crushed England for a consolation win in Hamilton on Tuesday.

Williamson's 156 was the 33rd time he had scored a Test century and the seventh time he had passed the milestone at Seddon Park. He brought up his century with a six down the ground. Rachin Ravindra started the delayed first session of the day alongside Williamson, but fell just short of a milestone of his own.

New Zealand registered their joint-biggest win in Test cricket by runs to conclude their WTC 2023-25 campaign.
