THIS IS INSANE.
Ben Stokes heaves it high out to long on, Trent Boult settles himself under it, takes the catch, but steps back onto the rope.
That is six!
Fair play to Martin Guptill, who signalled that straight away.

Jofra Archer comes out ahead of Adil Rashid.

That was a straightforward catch - but nothing is straightforward at this stage of a World Cup final...
Plunkett c Boult b Neesham 10 (Eng 220-7)
Trying to clear the rope on this pitch isn't easy and Liam Plunkett had to go for it.
He can't connect cleanly enough and Trent Boult doesn't drop those at long off.
Need 22 runs from 10 balls
Full and straight and Stokes can only flick it round to deep square leg for a single. Great skill from Neesham.

I have got one of those watches which monitors your heart rate and it has just told me to take a minute of slow breathing...

It's going to the last over and that is fitting for a World Cup final.
Need 24 from 12 balls

So Plunkett keeps the strike.
Need 25 from 13 balls
A low full toss and Liam Plunkett whacks it down the ground. Not much on it - can Mitchell Santner get round? He does. Just two.

Joe, Thames Ditton.
