England went down 62-47 in the final match of the series in Hamilton, having been beaten in the first two games last week.

The 100th meeting between the two countries saw Cardwell initially named among the replacements.

The Bispham-based Manchester Thunder player scored five goals during a spell of six without reply for England but New Zealand eventually eased to victory.
