Stokes became only the fourth Test captain after the Australians John Blackham (1894), Kim Hughes (1981) and Steve Waugh (2001) to stick his opponents back in after their first innings and end up on the losing side.
England, set 258 to win, were bowled out for 256 on the final day to see the series drawn at one apiece.
A Kane Williamson masterclass turned the tables in the third innings before Neil Wagner completed figures of four for 62 by removing England's No 11, Jimmy Anderson. Afterwards, Stokes was philosophical.

Regarding the follow-on, which was enforced with a 226-run lead, Stokes said: "I knew that New Zealand would have to play pretty much the perfect game to win this game.
