    It was tight, all-round bowling from England.

    I think New Zealand would have liked a few more runs.

  2. ENGLAND NEED 242 TO WIN THE CRICKET WORLD CUPpublished at 50 overs

    NZ 241-8

    Jofra Archer finishes with a well-directed bumper that Mitchell Santner ducks underneath!

    That's the last ball man, what are you doing? And now Santner tries to sneak a bye but Jos Buttler sprints up to the stumps to stop that nonsense.

    New Zealand finish with 241-8, setting England 242 to win the 2019 men's cricket World Cup.

    New Zealand have just been inching forward like a tortoise throughout the whole innings.

  4. NZ 241-8published at 49.5 overs

    Trent Boult back away and just about slices it wide of the diving Jofra Archer down to mid off for a single.

  5. NZ 240-8published at 49.4 overs

    A brilliant slower ball yorker from Jofra Archer and Trent Boult can only just jam his bat down on it.

    If you were playing a cricket shot you should hit that ball but Henry decided to play baseball. You can forgive him with it being the last over.

    Henry b Archer 4 (NZ 240-8)

    You miss. Archer hits.

    Matt Henry backs away, trying to cut, but Jofra Archer has sent down a 91mph full toss and it's too spicy for a tailender.

    Henry misses and the ball thwacks into the top of off stump.

    Archer has his first wicket in the final, taking him to 20 for the tournament. What a World Cup he's had.

    That is 30 runs in extras. That was the 13th wide ball.

  9. NZ 240-7published at 49.2 overs

    Matt Henry has an ugly swipe at a bouncer, misses, but Jofra Archer will have to bowl that again. Wide.

  10. NZ 239-7published at 49.2 overs

    A risky single and England again miss with a shy at the stumps. Santner would've been gone.

  11. NZ 238-7published at 49.1 overs

    Santner misses trying to swivel it away and the ball loops over leg stump. No wide. Dot for Jofra Archer.

    Sometimes the good old 'clear the leg and slog' can be effective. I think New Zealand are 10 runs behind where they want to be.

    England have bowled well. But if this gets tight, the extras they've conceded might be vital.

    Chris Woakes has taken 6-57 in the semi-final and final combined.

  15. NZ 238-7published at 49 overs

    And now number nine batsman Matt Henry wallops his first ball over wide long on for four. Shot!

    What a filthy over - 13 from it and a wicket, a third one for Chris Woakes, from a terrible delivery.

  16. NZ 233-7published at 48.4 overs

    And now Mitchell Santner can't connect trying to slog the free hit out of the ground.

    A really village cricket over in the middle of a World Cup final.

    Cricket, the great leveller.

    What is going on in this over?

    Chris Woakes gets it wrong again and sends down a low beamer.

    That's called no ball. Free hit.

    No wonder Latham is disappointed. That should have gone a long way.

    New Zealand are just falling at the time they needed to be pushing on.

    Latham cannot believe he has done that. Woakes has burgled a wicket.

    Latham c sub (Vince) b Woakes 47 (NZ 232-7)

    Dearie me again, this time Tom Latham with a brain fade.

    An innocuous low full toss and the Kiwi keeper just prods at it tamely, not one thing or the other and the ball loops up for sub fielder James Vince to take another simple catch at mid off.

    He should've marmalised that. Latham trudges off for a decent, if far from fluent, 47.
