Paul Collingwood's men were bowled out for just 130 on a slow pitch in Wellington before the Kiwis romped to victory for the loss of just four wickets with 20 overs to spare.

The defeat is a setback for England, who won both the Twenty20 matches this week, and they will be looking to bounce back in the four remaining ODI games.
