Williamson’s double hundred applauded by the Kiwi spectators
Currently the No. 1 ranked Test batsman, Williamson took a single off Shaheen Afridi to equal Brendon McCullum’s record of four Test double-hundreds by a New Zealander.
Williamson shook hands with his partner Kyle Jamieson and raised the bat towards tಞhe dressing room in a muted celebration.
After batting for more than nine hours at the Hagley Oval, Williamson played a ඣtired shot and departed with scores 🦂of 251, 129, 21 and 238 in his last four Test innings.
