England took the series decider by 10 wickets, running down the hosts’ total of eight for 139 with 44 balls remaining, with Alex Hales (80) and Michael Lumb (53) finishing the match unbeaten.
After winning the toss and choosing to bowl, the tourists kept things tight on the small Wellington ground, especially Broad (3-15) and Dernbach (3-360.
Hales was in an especially beligerant mood, smashing the Kiwi bowlers for 80 off just 42 balls, including three sixes and a four in four consecutive balls.
Lumb hit the winning runs with a majestic six which officials are probably still looking for.
