Nasser Hussain "The last thing I want to do is sit here and be like a whinging English captain. The cricket has been excellent, all this other stuff has to be looked at by people off the field, ICC (International Cricket Council), ECB, whatever, they've got to look at it. "The thing last night was simple. Some of our boys were struggling to see the ball, I mentioned that to Venkat, he fully agreed with me, he said it was difficult. But at no time in the history of the game has any team been taken off fielding and as far as ICC regulations go you can't take the fielding side off, so you will have to talk to the ICC about it.

"The New Zealand side are very resilient and hard to break down, and in a three-match series we have to be always at our best to beat sides. We were just off maybe by two hours in this game and we got nailed, you basically get what you put in.

"We need more big runs, big hundreds... they're the sides that are winning, the Australians are getting big hundreds, double hundreds, we have to get the 20s and 30s out of our system. If we are really going to get up and beat sides that's where we've got to improve."

Stephen Fleming "We came up against what I thought was a very professional England side. They didn't really give us any opportunities and those we did get they snuffed out pretty quickly. I don't really need to say that for the majority of these Test matches we were up against it.

"We're delighted, obviously, with the win, but we look back to the series and I can say that we haven't been tested like that for a long time. The limited opportunities we had is testament to what a quality side we were playing. It was tough work."

Adam Parore (on that catch): "I heard a sound and appealed. I've had nine people caught behind this winter who were given not out when they were definitely out and that's the way it goes. Some go against you and others don't and that's the game. It's part of the charm, but the decision has got nothing to do with me - I just appealed for it and it's the umpire's decision.

"By the same token if an umpire turns one down I don't blame the batsman for not walking off the ground."
