After two early dismissals, Taylor first stabilized the innings by adding 84 runs with Captain Kane Williamson (45) for the third wicket and then 179 runs with Tom Latham (71) for fourth wickets.
On Wednesday, Taylor not just reached his 19th century but also surpassed his highest score of 131 and scored unbeaten 181 runs.
Taylor scored 181 runs off 147 deliveries and during his innings he slammed 17 fours and 6 maximum.
Talking about his achievement, Taylor said, “It was nice to be there at the end.”
“We knew chasing that total that we just had to give ourselves a chance. It was a good wicket, we needed to just set those little goals along the way and give ourselves a chance. You never win a game like that in the first 10 overs but you certainly do lose it,” Taylor added.
