New Zealand thrash England for series win as Ben Stokes bows out

Victory meant New Zealand won a three-match campaign 2-1 -- just their fourth series success in England in 20 attempts and only the second time they had triumphed after being 1-0 down after their 1999 success in England.

This was also England's first series defeat at home in three or more Tests since 2012.

The Test was upstaged by England captain Stokes, who dramatically announced his retirement from international duty on Sunday.

The 35-year-old all-rounder said he felt "burnt out" after four years as England skipper, although Stokes added he would continue to play for county side Durham.
