New Zealand pace bowler Trent Boult will miss the rest of the Royal London one-day series against England with a back injury.

Boult was omitted from the side that started the third match in the series at the Ageas Bowl and it was confirmed a scan had shown a stress-related injury.

The left-armer was replaced by debutant Ben Wheeler, who claimed his first international wicket when Alex Hales edged him to slip.

Boult is due to fly home for treatment and becomes the fourth bowler ruled out during the series - New Zealand have already lost Corey Anderson while England will be without Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett.
