Kiwis sent the legendary pace veteran Southee on a winning note as an all-round effort helped them secure a thumping 423-run win over England in the third Test, ending the series with a 2-1 scoreline and a consolation win.
This comes after the Kiwis' 2-0 loss to Sri Lanka at Galle, one of the matches ending with the 2021 ICC World Test Champions losing by a massive margin of an innings and 154 runs.
Southee injured his thumb when he dove across with both hands to take England batter Joe Root's catch but saw the ball hit his thumb and deflect to third man.
