England slumped to a one-day series defeat by New Zealand as Martin Guptill's second successive century condemned the hosts to a 86-run loss.
Guptill, 26, hit an unbeaten 189 - the joint-fifth best one-day international score as New Zealand finished on 359-3 - their highest total against England.
Jonathan Trott top-scored with 109 not out but England batted poorly and were dismissed for 273 in the 45th over.

Having lost by five wickets in the first international at Lord's, the manner of this defeat will be of concern to captain Alastair Cook ahead of their opening Champions Trophy match against Australia on Saturday.
