All-rounder Ben Stokes set aside his off-field troubles to steer England to a six-wicket win in the second ODI against New Zealand here yesterday. Stokes, 26, produced a man-of-the-match performance in just his second appearance for England since being sidelined over a nightclub incident five months ago. Stokes took two wickets for 42 then hit an unbeaten 63 while skipper Eoin Morgan made 62 as England easily chased down New Zealand's target of 224 with 12.1 overs remaining.
