New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has admitted that his side were defeated by the better team during their second Test match at Headingley this afternoon.
The rain threatened to see the match end in a draw, but the hosts were able to take the four wickets that they required to win the series 2-0.
"The gulf between the two teams was exposed in this Test," the skipper told Sky Sports News. "We certainly had the bowling attack where we knew we could take English wickets and it was a matter of us being able to produce the runs that were required.
"I think it was a combination between high-class bowling from the England bowlers and also our boys just struggled a touch with the bat to get that high score that was required."
The two sides will now meet for a series of one-day internationals.
