Stokes' retirement cues chaotic finish as England teeter towards series defeat

Ben Stokes took centre stage, in more ways than one, as the announcement of his international retirement dominated a quite remarkable fourth day's play of England's third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge.

Stokes' decision, and a chaotic few hours that followed, sadly does not mask the fact that England appear destined to lose a first home series of three or more matches since 2012. They head into the fifth and final day on 103-4, needing a further 270 to win.
