EOIN MORGAN could only rue the collapse which cost England series victory against New Zealand yesterday.

England’s white-ball captain was unrepentant, however, about the attacking intent which fell flat after Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root raced to 267 for one in the 38th over of the fourth one-day international in Dunedin.

The tourists promptly lost their next six wickets for 21 on the way to 335 for nine, and then had no answer to Ross Taylor’s brilliance after New Zealand initially faltered to two for two in reply.
