BEN STOKES promised there will be no "holding back" when he recovers from his latest injury problems, insisting he is ready to keep digging deep for his country.
England captain Stokes was forced to watch the final stages of his side's 423-run thrashing by New Zealand in Hamilton from the sidelines (below) as they suffered their fourth biggest defeat by runs in history.
He had pulled up with hamstring trouble (top) while bowling his 37th over of this third Test. He did not appear again, handing the captaincy to Ollie Pope in the field and deciding not to bat in a lost cause as England were finished off for 234 barely a third of the way towards a vast target of 658.
