AUCKLAND (Reuters) - Kane Williamson moved into sole possession of the New Zealand test century record on a rain-disrupted second day of the series opener between a dominant New Zealand and England on Friday.

Williamson, who had resumed on 91, stroked his way to an 18th test century before the teams were driven off the field for the first time on a day when a little more than 90 minutes of play was completed.
