England limp to series defeat to New Zealand in anti-climactic finish for Stokes

England limped to a tame series defeat to New Zealand as they were beaten by 160 runs on an anti-climactic final day at Trent Bridge - Ben Stokes' last as an England cricketer.

Stokes' career has been defined by numerous super-human spells with bat and ball - none more so than his match-winning, unbeaten 135 in the 2019 Ashes Test at Headingley - but news of his retirement on the fourth afternoon preceded a chaotic few hours in which he and others from England's top order somewhat gifted their wickets to leave the team in a hole at 103-4, chasing 373, at the start of day five.
