England captain Eoin Morgan: "There has been some incredible cricket played over the five games. All credit to New Zealand - they've played some fantastic cricket. We've come out of left-field. Jonny Bairstow was incredible - in what was our worst batting display of the series, he stuck his hand up and won us the game.

"Everything that has happened in this series has been stuff that we've been striving for over the past few years. As we've gone around the country the support has been magnificent and we've managed to deliver some entertaining cricket.

"I had an immensely dry spell up until this series and I managed to make some contributions which was great, but it was a huge team effort. Let's hope going into the Ashes that we maintain that level."
