England spinner Monty Panesar claimed six wickets to wrap up the deciding third Test against New Zealand just after lunch on the fifth day on Wednesday.
New Zealand, chasing an improbable 553 to win, were bowled out for 431 in their second innings to give England victory by 121 runs and a 2-1 triumph in the series, their first overseas success since South Africa in 2005.
Debutant Tim Southee top-scored with 77 not out, including nine sixes, and his half-century, off 29 balls, was the fastest by a New Zealander in Tests.
Panesar, who took three wickets to spark a familiar collapse of New Zealand's batting on the fourth day, finished with career-best figures of six for 126.
They were spoiled by Southee's barrage, however, with his three-over spell after lunch going for 41 runs.
Panesar did capture the valuable wickets of Ross Taylor (74) and Brendon McCullum (42) in the morning to realistically end New Zealand's chances of batting out the day.
Taylor (34) and McCullum (24) had resumed on 222 for five and they immediately set about the England bowlers. Taylor was particularly brutal on Ryan Sidebottom, taking three boundaries off his first over of the day and again in the left-arm seamer's third to end his short spell with uncharacteristic figures of 3-0-31-0.
Taylor's third Test half-century came off 85 balls and included 10 boundaries.
