New Zealand’s seamers, previously so potent through the Test, found no swing on a cold morning and failed to test the batsmen as the pair picked off the runs with little alarm after England had resumed at 216 for five, needing 61 for victory.

England captain Ben Stokes can celebrate victory in his first Test in charge and will be targeting a series win when the second of three Tests gets underway at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Friday.
