Ben Stokes hails 'another great performance' as England thrash New Zealand in first Test

Ben Stokes hailed "another great performance" as England's "Bazball" revolution continued apace on Sunday when the tourists wrapped up a thumping 267-run victory over New Zealand in the opening session of the fourth day of the first Test at Bay Oval.

The hosts were still reeling from Stuart Broad's brilliant spell with the pink ball on Saturday evening, with only Daryl Mitchell of the last five Black Caps batsmen offered any real resistance as they slumped to 126 all out in their second innings.

Broad laboured in vain to get his 20th five-wicket haul in Tests and finished with figures of 4-49 but his partner James Anderson (4-18) shared the load by mopping up the New Zealand tail.

World Test champions New Zealand had resumed on 63-5 with the mammoth task of chasing down 394 for victory.

Michael Bracewell lasted less than 10 minutes before he spooned a Jack Leach delivery to Harry Brook at midwicket without adding to his overnight tally of 25.

Scott Kuggeleijn came in and made two runs from six balls before being trapped in front by Anderson with skipper Tim Southee departing for a golden duck on the next delivery, prodding the ball to Joe Root at slip.

Mitchell fended away Anderson's hat-trick ball at the start of the
