More from England captain Ben Stokes...

On Jacob Bethell: "It was [an impressive knock]. Another young lad coming in and putting in an unbelievable performance so early in their career.

"We had a bit of a conundrum before the series with the unfortunate injury to Jordan Cox but we back Beth's ability to be able to go out there and do something match-defining.

"We saw it in Christchurch and then in the second innings here. He's a big part of why we got such a big lead.

"We see giving guys the opportunities to go out and express themselves in tough conditions as the best way to see what they're about.

"Jacob Bethell has certainly shown us what he's about - and shown the world what he's about as well."

On the bowlers: "580 is a lot of runs wherever you are. There was always going to be pressure on New Zealand to chase that down, especially on that wicket.

"The bowling performances throughout the first two games have been exceptional. Everyone has run in spell after spell.

"Day two we turned up and Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson took those last five wickets very quickly. Just been absolutely awesome.

"Shoaib Bashir today did one of those jobs that's for the team, bowling into that ridiculous wind and I thought he did an amazing job.

"The fact that New Zealand tried to come after him the way they did, he kept the smile on his face and kept bowling and bowling.

"It showed a lot about his character.

"Chris Woakes' opening spell, five overs into that wind, was simply incredible.

"I only bowled a short spell but that was very, very hard work."

On his own bowling: "We got to the point in the game where the big fellas had put in the hard work and we wanted to finish the game quickly.

"We've got one more game left and we didn't really want to risk anybody when we didn't need to."

England captain Ben Stokes: "Amazing to be stood here winning the series, especially after being 40-4 on day one.

"Looking back to the start of this game, Harry Brook and Ollie Pope were just amazing on day one to go out and play like that.

"In cricket terms, that wicket is what we call a snake pit. It was doing plenty on day one, a lot of assistance for the bowlers but to have the bravery, backing your own ability, and also the skill to go out and play like that was absolutely phenomenal.

"We've been unbelievable with the ball but the way Harry Brook played on day one set the game up for us."

On Harry Brook: "We don't really given instructions to guys. We back everyone's ability, they're playing international cricket because they're very, very good at what they do.

"Brooky thought putting the pressure back on the New Zealand bowlers was exactly what was needed.

"Knocking them off their lengths and hitting the same ball over mid-off, over cover, over gully - it made it so, so hard for New Zealand to run up and put the ball in the areas they wanted to."

New Zealand captain Tom Latham on the test: "We’re hurting. It's disappointing to lose in that fashion, we only put up around 120 in the first innings and that put us on the back foot. It hurts that we didn't play our best."

On England and today: "Credit where credits due. That was fantastic from England, they had one guy that took it away. The nature that he took it in put us under pressure, he played some unbelievable shots."

"The guys tried really hard, I'm not doubting the effort. England came out, put us under pressure, we saw that yesterday with the big partnership. We came in today with the hope of putting up some good partnerships but that didn't happen."

"They've been able to put us under pressure. They kept their foot on the throat. We haven't been able to absorb that pressure and put it back on them."

"We'll turn up there with the aspiration of winning the test match, the crowds we've had have been fantastic. We know we haven't been our best, we’ll try and turn that around."

Player of the match, England batter Harry Brook: "Definitely my best hundred, just the circumstances of the game and the position we were in, to get us to that score - I was happy with it.

"It depends on the surface as well. The bowlers were getting quite a bit out of the surface in the first innings and it was touch to just sit in and block.

"The best form of defence was attacking and thankfully it worked out."

On the team performance: "Unbelievable. It's extremely windy today as well so with the hard toil the boys put in today, running into the wind: exceptional. To do it in three days is even more sweet."

On series win: "It's always amazing winning series and just another record for us guys to tick off."

Time for the presentations.

Player of the match Harry Brook is speaking to David Gower in front of a rippling advertising background.

Brook should be careful, if the wind takes it he could end up windsurfing across the Cook Strait.

This was England's largest ever runs victory over New Zealand, and they've done it with a fair chunk of day three remaining.

It's been a superb effort by Ben Stokes' charges, while New Zealand are reeling having fallen to two heavy defeats in the series.

Yes indeed, Jon.

Ben Stokes finishes with figures of 3-5 off 2.2 overs.

Why spend all that time running into the wind when you can just rock up and run through the tail at the end?

Southee waits four balls then lofts Bashir through mid-wicket for four.

One bounce and over the ropes.

Will O'Rourke last man out of the hutch.

He ducks under a couple, then just about survives a ball scudding past his outside edge.

Hello, change of ends for Shoaib Bashir, bowling into the wind now.

It seems to work, only four runs from this over, while a Smith two to third brings up New Zealand's 250.

Now Matt Henry's out he can fly in and rescue Matt Henry.

I'm reminded there's a musical Come From Away about stranded air passengers in a small town in Canada.

How about a follow-up about an international cricketer rescuing a stranded namesake journalist?

Matt Henry could star in it.

Tim Southee in at 10 for New Zealand.

Stokes clouts the new batter's gloves and thigh with successive snorters.
