Replacement Beauden Barrett inspired a New Zealand fightback in their 24-17 win over England to claim the series at Eden Park.

The All Blacks trailed by a point before two-time world player of the year Barrett was introduced off the bench to set up Mark Tele'a's second try and break English resistance.

England had threatened to become the first side to win at Eden Park in 30 years after excellent tries by Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tommy Freeman handed them a slender advantage at half-time.

In a frenetic game littered by handling errors on the greasy Auckland surface, the All Blacks struggled to wrestle back momentum until Barrett's arrival from the bench.

The replacement full-back cut a composed figure to steady the New Zealand ship as he first cut an excellent line against England's scramble defence to feed Tele'a - who opened his account in the first half with a smart poach from the breakdown - before holding up Jamie George over the whitewash in the final play.

Victory for the All Blacks maintains their formidable record at Eden Park and hands them a 2-0 series win to kickstart Scott Robertson's era as head coach.
