Kane Williamson struck a defiant century Wednesday but was unable to put New Zealand in control in the BAN vs NZ 1st Test in Sylhet.

The visitors reached 266-8 at stumps on the second day, still trailing Bangladesh by 44 runs in the first innings. Williamson hit 104 off 205 balls in his 29th Test century with 11 fours, before Taijul Islam broke through his defence to bowl out the right-hander.
