The Black Caps celebrate after defeating Sri Lanka in Christchurch

The Black Caps have won the second and final test against Sri Lanka in Christchurch by a record 423 runs to clinch a 1‑nil series victory.

Trent Boult and Neil Wagner quickly wrapped up Sri Lanka's second innings at Hagley Oval.

With the first match in Wellington ending in a draw, today's victory saw the hosts win a fourth successive test series for the first time.

The victory was even more impressive given New Zealand had been reduced to 64 for six on the first day, before Tim Southee produced a counter‑attacking innings of 68 that pushed their total through to 178.

The two teams now meet in a three‑match one‑day series starting next Thursday
