Victory ensured the two-match series ended all square at 1-1 and was just New Zealand's 9th win in 101 Tests against England.

New Zealand's victory was their first in 12 Tests against England but their biggest in terms of runs, surpassing their 189-run win at Hamilton in 2008

It meant too they had won a Test in England for only the fifth time, with this victory their first Test success on English soil since an 83-run triumph at The Oval in 1999

New Zealand are now unbeaten in their past seven Test series
