The left-handed batter hooked Kiwi seamer Scott Kuggeleijn over fine leg for his 108th six in Test cricket. He went on to hit one more six before being stumped off spinner Michael Bracewell, typically trying to force the pace.
Former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist features third on the list with 100 sixes to his name followed by West Indies’ Chris Gayle (98 )and South Africa’s Jacques Kallis (97).
On the match front, Stuart Broad razed New Zealand’s top order with a destructive opening spell to put England on the verge of winning the first Test.
Broad claimed four wickets under lights — all clean bowled — to reduce the Black Caps’ second innings to 63-5 at stumps on day three, with hopes of reaching their winning target of 394 all but extinguished.
