England spinner Monty Panesar claimed six wickets to wrap up the deciding third Test against New Zealand just after lunch on the fifth day on Wednesday. New Zealand, chasing an improbable 553 to win, was bowled out for 431 in its second innings to give England victory by 121 runs and a 2-1 triumph in the series, its first overseas success since South Africa in 2005. Debutant Tim Southee top-scored with 77 not out, including nine sixes, and his half century, off 29 balls, was the fastest by a New Zealander in Tests. Panesar, who took three wickets to spark a familiar collapse of New Zealand's batting on the fourth day, finished with career-best figures of 6-126. They were spoiled by Southee's barrage, however, with his three-over spell after lunch going for 41 runs. Taylor (34) and McCullum (24) had resumed on 222-5 and they immediately set about the England bowlers. Taylor's third Test half century came off 85 balls and included 10 boundaries. He quickly moved to 74 and looked set for his second century of the series when he nicked a catch to Paul Collingwood off Panesar to end his 104-run partnership with McCullum. The aggressive wicketkeeper was more circumspect but stroked seven boundaries before he was bowled by Panesar for 42 to leave New Zealand struggling at 281-7. Jeetan Patel and Daniel Vettori added 48 runs before Stuart Broad produced a remarkable diving catch at backward square leg to dismiss Patel for 18 off Panesar. Vettori was then caught behind by Tim Ambrose off James Anderson for 43 before Southee hoisted two sixes into the stands before the break. He smashed seven more after lunch with two disappearing out of the ground and brought up his first Test half century with his seventh six before the excitement ended when Chris Martin was bowled by Sidebottom for five. New Zealand won the first Test by 189 runs and England the second by 126 runs.ScoreboardEngland (1st innings) 253 New Zealand (1st innings) 168 England (2nd innings) 467-7 declared.
