England captain Ben Stokes admitted Tuesday he became 'emotional' after suffering another injury setback during the third Test defeat to New Zealand, but he would not be reducing his bowling workload.

Stokes is still to learn the severity of the 'incredibly disappointing' hamstring injury recurrence which forced him from the field mid-spell on Monday's third day in Hamilton. He suffered the same affliction while bowling in August, sidelining him from four Tests during a two-month recovery.
