This feels a lot like the women’s World Cup. Same sort of weather, same sort of sense of nerves drifting around the ground...
Summary
England become men's world champions for first time after incredible final goes to super over
Eoin Morgan's men victorious by virtue of having scored more boundaries (super over was tied)
England batted first in super over - Stokes (8*) and Buttler (7*) post 15-0
New Zealand post 15-1 - Neesham 13, Guptill 1
Wood run out off final ball of England's innings, meaning scores were tied
Stokes (84*) and Buttler (59) put on 110 after England fell to 86-4 in chase of 242
Latham's punchy 47 lifts NZ to 241-8; Nicholls only NZ batsman to pass 50

BBC Sport at Lord'sDon't expect the pattern of this game to change for a while. New Zealand will be very happy with this, almost Test-style cricket for as long as possible. If they can push on to 270, they are well in this game.

Allen Cooper: Some of the comments on Williamson and his strike rate so far show ignorance and disrespect of the player. Always starts slow but has the class to catch up later once he’s in and the bowlers tire. Just look at the semi-final...
Dave Bookham: Don’t be fooled by Williamson’s slow start. They still need to get him before he accumulates runs. 250 or more may be a winning score
NZ 63-1published at 15 overs
Run rate 4.2
Trash talk to Liam Plunkett - I'll be sending your numbers to him. Good luck.
Mark Wood has often been expensive in this World Cup but that's a decent first over, getting the ball to move and at pace too. He hits 95mph there!
Slightly ruined by Kane Williamson gloving a leg-sided ball away for four off the final ball of the over...

George Gray: Plunkett is, I feel, a little out of place in this bowling attack not quite as good.
Mike: Struggling to see how Plunkett has an impact on this pitch. Stokes the better option.
Mike Bell: I wish this was David Willey's left arm bowling coming on as first change. Liam Plunkett just doesn't do it for me at this level.

Mark Wood's first two balls come with a side salad of massive away swing. His first one is called a wide in fact!
Hooping it about.

Mark Wood is going to have a bowl.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat's good timing and Nicholls placed it perfectly.

The fifty is up!
These two have put on 25, of which Kane Williamson has scored four.
Shot! Henry Nicholls flicks a leg-sided ball to the fence.

Let's keep Williamson in.... Strike rate appalling. Maybe thinks he is so important to team he cannot get out or it is all over! Kane the Tortoise!

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland's bowlers have made a good start but I think New Zealand will be the happier side. England will have hoped for at least two wickets by now.

Tom Fordyce
BBC chief sports writer at Lord'sKane Williamson has shouldered New Zealand's burden and strode on regardless.
Three times he has been at the crease before the end of the first over. He has arrived in the second over, the third, fourth, sixth and ninth. Almost always he has prospered: the century against West Indies after both openers had gone for golden ducks; the endlessly patient 67 in the semi-final as wickets fell and runs dried up all around him.

BBC Sport at Lord'sThe big debate this morning was did Kane Williamson make the right call at the toss? There were a few groans from the Black Caps fans around me when he said New Zealand would have a bat - their batting hasn’t exactly fired in this tournament.
Graeme Swann was floating around the box and said he was amazed New Zealand weren't having a bowl on what is a cold, grey day. But I reckon this is probably NZ’s best chance of winning - do what they did against India, get a score on the board and make England chase.

I know it's the home of cricket, steeped in history etc and I'll probably called a heretic, but where it's comes to atmosphere give me Edgbaston every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Chris Woakes fields well to block a drive from Kane WIlliamson in his follow-through. A finger-burner but he's OK.
