The Black Caps have suffered a humiliating defeat in the second test against England at the Basin Reserve.
The 323-run loss inside three days in Wellington saw the Black Caps lose the three-match series and be eliminated from contention for the ICC World Test Championship final, England's first series victory in New Zealand since 2008.

Resuming at 378-5, England added another 39 runs for the loss of just one wicket in less than seven overs to reach 427-6 declared in their second innings, setting the Black Caps a mammoth target of 583 in more than two days.
Joe Root (106) reached a century, then three balls later was dismissed by Will O'Rourke, bringing an end to England's innings.
England put the result beyond doubt with four wickets in the morning session - with Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Tom Latham and Rachin Ravindra going cheaply - before rain forced an early lunch.
The precipitation could not save the Black Caps, although a 47-run partnership between Tom Blundell and Daryl Mitchell (32) for the fifth wicket, and then a 96-run stand for the seventh wicket between Blundell and Nathan Smith (42) gave them a very faint hope.
Blundell (115) reached his century, including 13 fours and five sixes, but once he departed the end came quick. Matt Henry, Smith and Tim Southee went in the space of five overs to put the hosts out of their misery.
The Black Caps will attempt to avoid a series clean-sweep in the third test at Hamilton's Seddon Park, starting on Saturday.
