Nottingham: England won by 34 runs in the final one-day international at Trent Bridge as New Zealand claimed the series 2-1.
New Zealand, chasing 288 for victory in this day/night fixture, finished on 253 all out.
England finally saw the back of man-of-the-series Martin Guptill at Trent Bridge.
The Kiwi opener had twice made them pay for dropping him on 13 in succesive matches with 103 not out at Lord's and a New Zealand record 189 not out at Southampton.
But on Wednesday he made just 38 before he was bowled by an off-break from James Tredwell, in for fellow spinner Graeme Swann in one of four changes to the England team.
That still left Guptill with a series average of 330.
Encouragingly for England, pacemen Stuart Broad (knee) and Steven Finn (shin) returned after missing the first two matches of this series through injury.
And when Broad, on his Nottinghamshire home ground, had James Franklin caught in the gully by England captain Alastair Cook, New Zealand were 122 for six.
Ross Taylor kept New Zealand in the hunt with 71 off 84 balls including three sixes and two fours -- his third fifty of the series.
His last two sixes came off successive Tredwell deliveries, Finn failing to palm back the first before the next ball soared high over his head at deep mid-wicket.
Earlier, Ian Bell made 82 but the innings was revitalised by Jos Buttler, who hit three sixes in 47 not out off 16 balls.
Buttler shared 62 in 24 balls with Eoin Morgan (49) as England posted 287-6, scoring 76 runs in the last four overs.
James Tredwell (3-51) dislodged Martin Guptill (38), who made unbeaten tons in the first two games, and the Kiwis were 253 all out despite Ross Taylor's 71.
Although the series had already been lost, averting a first home whitewash since 2006 and rectifying deficiencies in all three facets of the game ahead of Saturday's Champions Trophy opener with Australia made this far from a routine dead rubber for England.
Buttler's exploits and a greatly-improved display in the field helped to achieve that but the early exchanges, with the floodlights on from the start in overcast conditions, offered little encouragement.
Only six runs came from the first six overs with Alastair Cook out lbw for a duck. He surprisingly decided to use the only review to challenge the decision by ex-England batsman Tim Robinson, standing in his first ODI.
But, on his former home ground, the official's decision was vindicated as replays showed the ball crashing into leg-stump.
Jonathan Trott's strike-rate as ever was the subject of much scrutiny as he made 37 from 53 balls during a stand of 66 with Warwickshire team-mate Bell before falling lbw playing across the line in the 19th over.
Having completed a typically stylish 26th ODI half-century, Bell picked out mid-off.
With Joe Root run out for 33 four balls earlier, it left Morgan and the recalled Ravi Bopara, one of four changes in the England team, both on nought in the power-play overs.
Both appeared painfully out of touch, Bopara dropped on three, with only 20 runs accrued in those five overs.
Bopara, who made 28 from 38 balls, was caught on the mid-wicket boundary but Buttler almost surpassed that in six deliveries from seamer Kyle Mills, dispatching a six and four fours.
