    You cannot miss the ball from here. You must make contact. Every ball.

  3. England need 11.33 per over with four wickets in hand.

    Here. We. Go.

    DG: Not sure my new anti-hair loss shampoo has a chance with this going on.

  5. Here's how Jos Buttler was dismissed for 59...

    Need 34 runs from 18 balls

    Excellent response by Ferguson, a slower ball bouncer that foxes Plunkett. No run.

    Liam Plunkett has got them cheering again!

  8. Eng 208-6

    Need 34 runs from 19 balls

    Liam Plunkett used to be a batsman. He is no mug.

    And he has now whacked a ball off his pads for four through mid-wicket in a World Cup final.

  9. Eng 204-6

    Need 38 runs from 21 balls

    Ben Stokes has to take a single down the ground and Liam Plunkett is beaten by a back-of-the-hand slower ball from Lockie Ferguson. Tremendous skill.

  10. Liam Plunkett took three wickets in a sublime bowling display earlier.

    What a story if he can help England to victory with the bat now.

    It's very hard when you've been sat on the balcony to come in and play in an occasion like this.

    I just don't know why he did that with Ben Stokes at the other end. Chris Woakes has tried to put the bowler into the tavern.

    WICKET

    Woakes c Latham b Ferguson 2 (Eng 203-6)

    Shocking from Chris Woakes.

    All he needs to do is tap a single to put Ben Stokes on strike but instead he tries to launch a pull shot into the stands.

    The bat turns in his hands and it skews straight up off a top edge. Tom Latham snaffles it.

    The only saving grace is that it went high enough for the batsmen to cross.

    141 kmh. BOWL. SLOWER.

  15. Eng 203-5

    Need 39 runs from 24 balls

    Ben Stokes you are kidding me.

    It was on the pads but the power in his wrists to flick the ball through mid-wicket for four -outstanding.

  16. Eng 199-5

    Need 43 runs from 25 balls

    Chris Woakes carves it to third man for one.

  17. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes has got to do the business here. He can't leave it to the tail, he has to see it home for England.

  18. Eng 198-5

    Need 44 runs from 26 balls

    Wide from Neesham but Stokes can only hit a single out to deep point. He's found the fielders so often today.

  20. Eng 197-5

    Chris Woakes drives down the ground to get that single to put Ben Stokes on strike.
