Here is what Kane Williamson said in the post-match presentation-:

“Fantastic series. Some really good cricket played and great spirit. Credit to Virat and team, they were the better team, just. Lots of promising signs for us. The surfaces were good throughout. That’s the nature of the sport, but you do need to be at your best to beat such sides. Tom Latham batted with such clarity in his mind, it was great to watch. Also Henry Nicholls. Bowlers stuck it out as well. They performed well most games.”
