  1. It's said all the time but Kane Williamson is all class.

  2. More from Kane Williamson: "We would have liked another 10 or 20 but it was a tough surface and a fantastic game of cricket. To go to the last ball and then the last ball again - it's tough to separate the sides.

    "That [Stokes deflection] was a bit of a shame isn't it? That's the game we play. You can't nitpick, it just wasn't meant to be."

    There's not one person who has left the ground. This is exactly what cricket needed. In five or six years' time, there'll be kids in the street who were inspired by Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler.

    Thank you for the coverage: unbelievable match, fantastic for Stokesy. I'm in tears.

  5. Kane Williamson has to come up for another interview after leading his side up for their runners-up medals.

  6. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson: "Look, it certainly wasn't for one extra run, there are so many parts in that match that could have gone either way. Congratulations to England, they had a fantastic campaign and deserve their victory.

    "It's been challenging, the pitches have been different. There was a lot of talk of 300+ scores but there hasn't been much of that. We have showed heart and fight to get to this stage and a tie in the final - it wasn't meant to be.

    "The guys are shattered. It's devastating. Tough to swallow."

    Chris Adams: Absolutely over the moon for England but gutted for New Zealand. They played brilliantly in the final and didn’t deserve to lose in such fashion. What a game, though. Well played everyone. I’m going for a lie down!

  8. Man of the tournament - Kane Williamson

    New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, with 578 runs and two centuries, averaging 82.57, is named man of the tournament.

    He has played several masterful, majestic innings on tough pitches throughout this World Cup.

  9. England all-rounder Ben Stokes: "It feels pretty good - I am lost for words to be honest. So much hard work has gone in, this is what we aspire to be. I don't think there will ever be a better game in cricket than that.

    "I have apologised countelss times for that fluke, it's not how you want to get them. There was no chance I wasn't going to bat in that super over - I defintely wasn't going to bowl anyway after last time...

    "It's fantastic. Without the lads in the ODi team and the Test team and the support from my family - that's all gone now."

  10. He may have fallen at a crucial time but Jos Buttler's 59 off 60 balls was outstanding.

    The only batsman to really play with fluency throughout.

  11. England opener Jonny Bairstow: "One hell of a game, it edged both ways and the way the guys came out in the super over was huge. We bowled well to be honest with you and they put us under a lot of pressure.

    "It was tough. The way that Stokesy and Jos put that partnerhsip together, that won us the game.

    "What a spectacle! What an atmosphere. To play a World Cup final in front of friends and families, it was huge. Difficult to put into words."

    Alan Lowndes: Complete redemption for Stokes after what happened in the T20 final, brilliant game all round, both teams were magnificent.

  15. England bowler Jofra Archer: "I was pretty sure I was going to bowl it [the super over], my heart is still racing! It's the biggest thing I've ever won, a great bunch of fellas, a really good family to me."

    Alix: That final had me so close to the edge of my seat I've just noticed I was squatting for the last three overs.

  17. The presentation is getting under way...

  18. New Zealand's Jimmy Neesham: "We knew we would have to fire a few shots. Credit to England for the way they stuck at it. On another day the coin may have fallen our way. We'll look back in a couple of years and say this was a pretty good experience.

    "That's the way we are as Kiwis, we get par scores and then scrap like hell. We don't blast teams off the park."

    The way England have played for the last four years, they deserve to be world champions.

  20. CHAIRS! EVERYWHERE!

    England's women very much enjoyed the men joining them as WORLD CHAMPIONS.
