He's looked genuinely unplayable in a fair few matches in Bangladesh.

I'd missed that New Zealand are number two in the rankings now, with South Africa's implosion against Sri Lanka having pushed them down to number three.
They've never been that high before!

I believe they were once in the 80s.
He was batting at 3 behind Marsh and Taylor.

By New Zealand opener standards he's very good, but aside from a really good early series against Pakistan everything else has come against pretty weak bowling. I'd still have guys like Karunaratne, Elgar and Markram ahead of him right now though obviously the South Africans have had a poor run recently.
Yeah he's got a good record. I'm sure its just part of a steep learning curve for him. Doesnt help when campaigner boards like CA don't honour hosting obligations.

He had, up until Marsh was dropped for the last Test of the series anyway, and then Wayne Phillips was brought in to replace Marsh.

If I had to guess on a year I'd say about 1987?
I had a quick look at Langer's record and he did it in 2001.

Century number 20 for Williamson. The first Kiwi to ever get to 20 centuries (he was already in the overall lead ahead of Crowe and Taylor anyway).

Doubt they will, if they bat all day they will be on 800.

Still have plenty of time to bowl Bangladesh out! Get as many first innings runs as you can

If Wagner keeps going like this they will be on 1000 by the end of the day. 43 off 31 currently.

Won’t get a better chance to get a ton against a relatively poor side

Wagner is out unfortunately. 47 off 35 though, handy dig for a night watchman!

New Zealand's highest ever score in Tests now; surpassing the 690 they scored against Pakistan in 2014, which in turn had surpassed the 680 they scored against India in early 2014.

And there's the 700 up.
This leaves, curiously enough, South Africa as the last major Test playing nation to have never reached 700 (SA's highest is 682).

Given that Australia, England, South Africa and India decline to really tour there with much regularity (for Tests at least), they're not really left with many other teams to play.
I mean, we are on their door step and we have played a grand total of four Tests there since the end of our 2004-05 series there.
