    A look at some top records held by Tom Latham
  • New Zealand opener Tom Latham came up with a prolific performance as he struck his 11th Test century, during the second Test against England in Hamilton on Friday.

    With this century, he continued his prolonged dominance in the format, as he is also currently the third-highest run-scorer for the side in the series.

    Meanwhile, we take a look at some of his top records.

    Meanwhile, in the process, Latham scored the highest innings score by a batsman in a Test innings for the year.

    Mushfiqur Rahim's unbeaten 219 against Zimbabwe was the second-highest individual score.

    In the process, he became the first Kiwi batsman to carry his bat in the format.

    Overall, he was the tenth batsman to do so in the format.
