England in New Zealand, 2008 (New Zealand)

New Zealand vs England, TEST

That's all we've got for you. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye.

Ryan Sidebottom is the Man of the Match as well as the Man of the Series for his 24 wickets.

Michael Vaughan: "It's been a fascinating series. We have a lot of respect of each other. Throughout the two games we've won we showed a lot of character. I guess we played the better cricket but I'm looking forward to the next series."

On Andrew Strauss: "One thing you say about Andrew Strauss is his character, his mind, his strength. It was a fantastic innings."

Stephen Fleming: "Thank you Ladies & Gentlemen. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the players I've played with and against. I would have like to go to the England tour but the support that they had here felt like I was in England.

People have been fantastic with support especially my family, who'll I'll be spending more time with and they dont mention conversion rates so that's great.

Last but not least, I'd like to wish Dan and his boys every success."

Daniel Vettori: "We've let sessions slip that cost us the game.We were consistent all through the 5 days at Hamilton. At welington, we let off for one session that set us back. And two sessions here.

It's a pretty good deck out there. We didn't have a realistic chance of winning, but we could save it. Some Very mature innings from a guy(Ross Taylor) who's playing only in his fifth or sixth test. Jeetan Patel did the job whenever he was called upon. Chris Martin was outstanding throughout the series."

On the upcoming tour of England: "Another huge challenge. To win in England with our group of guys would be an immense achievement."

That was absolutely brilliant stuff from Southee. 9 sixes and 4 fours as the Kiwi debutant recorded the highest score of the innings. It was too little too late, however. Panesar picked up 6 crucial wickets to set up the victory. Broad was impressive too, he worked hard for his wickets. England win this test by 121 runs and are only the 11th team in Test history to win a 3-Test series after being 1-0 down.
