  3. 140 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2025 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn, and on the facts we have the hundred didn't save it.

  4. 103 v India, Delhi, 2025 · Away · Lost

    A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

  5. 112 v Sri Lanka, North Sound, 2026 · At home · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.
