Kane Williamson became just the 13th New Zealand batsman to score a Test hundred at Lord's when he made 132 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.
He was out when an inside edge off his pad against off-spinner Moeen Ali was caught by Gary Ballance at backward short leg.
