Just have to say what a great team New Zealand have been; punching above their weight* as usual.

*given that they have a tiny population and are not a sporting monoculture.

You have to feel for New Zealand. The Stokes deflection for four has to be one of the most cruel things I’ve seen in such a huge match.

I did the same thing in a school game and did an Oscar winning job pretending it wasn’t deliberate

Arise, Sir Jofra. What with this and the Wimbledon men's final we have been royally spoilt.

What a day - been flicking between the two all afternoon.

A tie .... a super over tie ... and a win on 26 boundaries to 17 . Literally incredible . Unbelievable . Warney saying we didn’t actually win the game - we’ve got the trophy me thinks

We didn't win the game. But we won the World Cup.

That'll do.
