Williamson has become the first New Zealand batsman and second batsman in the world to be out in the 90s (nineties) the most number of times in international cricket. This is the 13th time that he has become a victim of the nervous nineties. At the top of this list is India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who has been out in the 90s 27 times.

Williamson has left behind Rahul Dravid (12) and AB de Villiers (12) in this matter. At the same time, Matthew Hayden (11), Ricky Ponting (11), Virender Sehwag (10), and Shikhar Dhawan (10) are also included in this list.

This is the fifth time in Test cricket that Williamson has been out in the 90s. This is the first time since 2018 that he faced nervous nineties in a Test match. Along with this, this is also his 36th half-century in Test cricket.

In the first test match, England won the toss and chose bowling. England spinner Shoaib Bashir performed brilliantly and troubled the Kiwi batsmen. The visiting team is playing a three-Test series against New Zealand on this tour.
