    Two tons for the Black Caps, just as the weather begins setting in


    Skipper Kane Williamson's brought up his 21st test century.



    ... and not so long after, Ross Taylor hit career century number 19.



    Williamson's made 104 and Taylor's on 105, to help New Zealand to 241 for two and a lead of 140 runs in the second test with England in Hamilton.
