England win series after washout in final New Zealand T20 but Brook left frustrated

• Third T20: NZ 38 for 1 v England. Match abandoned

• Rain means only 25 balls bowled in final match

England’s T20 series against New Zealand ended as it had started, with a washout. On a previously dry day, the weather teased and taunted. Rain first intervened at 7.17pm, two minutes after the start of play. After a brief resumption it returned, paused, gave the ground staff a bit of time to mop up, allowed the umpires to schedule a 10pm restart and then fell once again at 9.59pm. Twenty-five balls were bowled.

“You don’t want to come all the way over to this part of the world and only play one game,” Harry Brook said. “Very frustrating.”
