WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Kane Williamson showed few signs he has not played a test since March as the New Zealand captain posted a career-best 251 on the second day of the opening test against West Indies in Hamilton on Friday.

Williamson's 22nd test century, and third double ton, made up almost half of New Zealand's first innings total of 519 for seven declared before the tourists reached 49 without loss in reply.
