Kane Williamson’s Knock Puts New Zealand In Driver’s Seat

Williamson produced a 159-run partnership with Ish Sodhi on the fourth day, helping them build a 174-run advantage before Tim Southee made his declaration. On a field with just a modest turn and some tough spots of the stumps, Sodhi and Williamson seemed most at ease.

For more than half a day, Williamson and Sodhi played, which was irritating for Pakistan. Despite only adding 79 runs in the first session, the two created the atmosphere that enabled New Zealand to gradually gain ground and build a comfortable lead.
