Stokes to captain England in final Test as Atkinson also returns

Ben Stokes will return to captain England for the series-deciding third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge with Gus Atkinson also back after both players missed the 253-run thumping at The Oval following a nightclub incident.

Stokes and Atkinson were made unavailable for the second Test following an episode in the early hours the day after England's 115-run victory at Lord's, with an investigation launched.
