Every hundred
167* v Sri Lanka, Lord's, 2016 · At home · Drawn
A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.
150* v South Africa, Cape Town, 2016 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
140 v Sri Lanka, Leeds, 2016 · At home · Won
A ton of consequence: carried the innings. In at 5 for 83, 83 ahead. He made 47% of the team's 298, and no one else came close. The team won by 88 runs. He batted at number 7, a lower-order hundred.
119 v Australia, W.A.C.A, 2017 · Away · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
110 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (SSC), 2018 · Away · Won
A good ton. He made 33% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 1 for 22.
101 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2018 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.

140 v West Indies, North Sound, 2022 · Away · Drawn
