Ben Stokes was unrepentant after England’s historic, nail-biting one‑run defeat by New Zealand in Wellington, insisting he had no regrets about the follow-on and saying he would plough on to the Indian Premier League despite a longstanding knee injury.
The all-rounder became only the fourth Test captain after the Australians John Blackham (1894), Kim Hughes (1981) and Steve Waugh (2001) to stick his opponents back in after their first innings and end up on the losing side. England, set 258 to win, were bowled out for 256 on the final day to see the series drawn at one apiece.
