    England’s ‘Barmy Army’ fans group have been able to buy more than a hundred tickets after the ICC allocated them a block in the ground.

    This is an effort to create an atmosphere at the Cricket World Cup final similar to the one at Edgbaston in the semi-final, where the ICC were impressed by the English fans singing and support.

    New Zealand will "keep their feet on the ground" as they bid to upset England and win their first World Cup, says captain Kane Williamson.

    Williamson played in the World Cup final four years ago, in which New Zealand were thrashed by Australia.

    "I think anything is possible. It's a really special occasion tomorrow," Williamson said.

    "All different thoughts can go through your mind but certainly where myself and the group come from, it's keeping your feet on the ground and looking to play the sort of cricket to give yourself the best chance.

    "At the end of the day, it still is a cricket match."

    England, playing in their first final for 27 years, will start as favourites against the 2015 runners-up.

    "It would mean everything to win it," England captain Eoin Morgan said.

    "The good faith, support and enthusiasm we've been shown in the tournament has been brilliant. It's a huge privilege to play in a World Cup final."

    Morgan's men will be looking to emulate the England women's team, who won the World Cup on the same ground two years ago.

    Plenty of this about. St John's Wood Station is a box office.

    It's been raining! Of course it has. A fitting way to end the tournament.

    No sign of any delay to play though...

    It was - incredibly - back in May that we started this odyssey together.

    After 47 scheduled matches, an awful lot of rain, 20,806 runs scored by batsmen, 31 centuries, 107 dropped catches and one amazing bit of captaincy by Gulbadin - it's the final.

    All set?
