Henry extinguishes England's hopes inside an hour as New Zealand level series

Matt Henry's maiden 11-wicket haul delivered an emphatic 253-run victory for New Zealand as the tourists levelled the series with England inside an hour on day five at The Oval.

England resumed on 182-5 but saw their hopes of completing an improbable record run chase of 463 fade the moment Henry dismissed Joe Root (77) with his seventh delivery.

Henry (6-29) removed Jofra Archer, Matthew Fisher and Josh Tongue in back-to-back double-wicket maidens to leave England on the brink before he bowled Jordan Cox (25) to wrap up the victory and finish with 11 wickets in the match.
