Record-setting run for Williamson: He recently broke another record during the first Test match against Pakistan. In the opening innings of the first Test match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Kane Williamson was in outstanding form. while declaring after accumulating 612 for nine in response to Pakistan’s 438, he scored an unbeaten 200 on Day 4. Williamson batted 395 balls for 200 runs, including 21 fours and a six. He surpassed Brendon McCullum’s record for the most Test double hundreds after smashing his sixth double tonne.
PAK vs NZ 2nd Test: At lunch on Day 4 of the second Test in Karachi, Tom Latham and Kane Williamson put together an unbeaten 71-run stand to increase New Zealand’s lead to 117. The visitors had bowled Pakistan for 408, taking the final wicket in the morning’s first over, but they lost in-form Devon Conway early in their second innings for a duck.
After giving up a slim lead of 41 runs, Mir Hamza gave the hosts the necessary start. He hit with his very first delivery, a length ball that nipped back slightly and smacked off Conway’s pad and onto the stumps. However, a couple of unfavourable DRS reviews from Pakistan on either side of the drink break ruined the rest of the session.
The situation heading into the 2nd session in Karachi. Latham (37*) & Williamson (29*) to resume with the lead past 100 & five sessions remaining in this deciding Test.

Despite his reluctance, Pakistani captain Babar Azam was twice persuaded to take the LBW appeal against Kane Williamson upstairs by Abrar Ahmed. Williamson didn’t need to worry, though, as both were slipping down the leg. When he was 14, he went on to finish 7000 Test runs at position no. 3, becoming the fifth man to do so and the first New Zealander to do so.
After the early setback, the pair gradually recovered. Latham produced a few beautiful drives, but he was also fortunate to grab a few more boundaries with the edges running sloppily past the slip fielders.
