Ben Stokes: Stuart Broad says England's thrashing shows how much team need captain and that defeat will 'hurt' him

Stuart Broad says England's hammering by New Zealand at The Oval shows how much the team need Ben Stokes and that the captain will be "hurt" knowing that his absence significantly contributed to such a heavy defeat.

Stokes was withdrawn from the second Test after breaking a midnight curfew he was part of establishing when he and team-mate Gus Atkinson ventured to a London nightclub after the 115-run win over the Black Caps in the series opener at Lord's.
