BBC Test Match Special

ECB director of women's cricket Clare Connor: "This crowd haven't moved a muscle. Their support of this final has been immense. The teams couldn't have put on a better game of cricket. Both teams deserve such credit.

"India looked dangerous. I couldn't be prouder of the team and how this tournament has gone. Hopefully we have attracted some new fans for the women's game. For me, this beats me winning the Ashes. This is the best moment I've been involved with."

England match winner Anya Shrubsole: "I am lost for words. One of the great things about this team is we never give up. It is a fitting final of what was a brilliant World Cup.

"There was a huge amount of pressure. We never let the run rate get away and we knew if we got a couple then we would be in the game. It is a dream. I never thought it would come true. To be back here as a World Cup winner is amazing."

I started out covering England women in the 2013-14 Ashes series. I worried at one point that, as the women's game grew, England were going to start getting left behind. That Ashes loss in 2015 actually came at the right time for them. They've regrouped, got stronger, got more powerful, and it's resulted in a World Cup.

And here it is. The winning moment.

England captain Heather Knight on Test Match Special: "What a game. I'm so proud of those girls. They've really fought hard and that's all I've asked of them. Anya Shrubsole, to win us a game, under huge pressure - it's amazing. India batted brilliantly, they made it really hard for us. We knew if we took it deep, we had the bowling, and if we could hold our nerves. I thought about taking Anya off and I'm really glad I kept her on!

"It's been an extraordinary game. At times I had to punch myself and concentrate on the game. The noise when we got the last wicket was a really special moment. Anya Shrubsole, what a hero. To win with some of my best mates, I'm absolutely delighted."

Before the match, Anya Shrubsole's dad posted this photograph of a young Anya at Lord's, dreaming of playing in a World Cup final for her country.

She's taken six wickets on her way to helping England lift the World Cup. What a day for her.

England coach Mark Robinson on Test Match Special: "I always knew it was a case of hanging in there. It ebbed and flowed. It's outstanding. It is a lot of hard work, toil and great work. These memories will live with everybody for a long time. It's captured the imagination of everybody as the tournament has gone on. Hopefully, the women's game will go from strength to strength."

Kevin Ticehurst Wow what a final that was, I'm speechless!!! What a victory. #WWC17, external #bbccricket, external

Alison Franks Fantastic yet another women's team sport are world champions go girls you make us proud #bbccricket, external

This England team have gone through some big changes since Mark Robinson took over. Getting rid of Charlotte Edwards was a big gamble and could have gone either way. But England have grown so much under a new captain and a new coach. The fitness is improved, the power hitting is there where it wasn't before, and this is the result of all that hard work.

India had this game won. You have got to give them credit for the match but if you are being honest they only have themselves to blame.

I need a lie down. I really do. That was brilliant drama.

India look absolutely gutted. There's a tear in more than one eye. What a game they've been part of.

Anya Shrubsole: 9.4-0-46-6. In a World Cup final at Lord's. That's the very definition of a match winning performance. The absolute guts on show from those players out in the middle.

I am really proud. England fought hard and I am sat here with tears streaming down my face. England and Mark Robinson made the changes, they were very brave.

I can't even begin to describe the noise that went across Lord's when that final wicket fell. That is a brilliant win from England. They were in it, out of it, and then they dragged themselves, kicking and screaming, back into the game, to claim the World Cup.

Take a bow, ladies.
