New Zealand Stuns England with Dramatic Series Win
New Zealand sealed the series after dismissing England for 212, with Ben Stokes ending his international career in the third Test.
- On Monday, New Zealand secured a 2-1 series victory over England with a 160-run win at Trent Bridge, marking the final international appearance for England captain Ben Stokes after his shock retirement announcement.
- Stokes announced Sunday he would retire from international cricket after 15 years, capping a turbulent three weeks for the England regime that included uncertainty surrounding head coach Brendon McCullum and director of cricket Rob Key.
- Resuming at 103 for 4, England chased a target of 373 but collapsed to 212 all out soon after lunch on Day 5, sealing the New Zealanders' triumph.
- This 2-1 defeat is "even more damaging set within the context of last winter," following England's 4-1 Ashes hammering in Australia, as the team has won just two of their past 10 Tests.
- Players like Jamie Smith should get another chance to prove their worth against Pakistan later this summer, as England works to regroup after the series loss.
