  1. Trent Boult to bowl. Ben Stokes to face.

  2. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Each team has one review!

  3. What in the heck is a good score in a super over?

  4. Jon you've had a nightmare

    Put Channel 4 on!

    An outrageous game of cricket but the most outrageous thing about this game is that our World Cup final in our national game is not on terrestrial television.

    Jon, Bingley

  5. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Matthew Cosby: Oh great. Penalties.

  6. Here England come - it's Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes.

  7. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Any of England's top six batsmen would do a great job here. As a bowler, I would struggle in a one over game at any time but in a World Cup final?

    Incredible. As a captain I would pick the guy who puts his hand up. Like a penalty shootout.

  8. One of the most astonishing moments in cricket history.

    England get six runs after the ball deflects off Stokes and away to the boundary

  9. Who has the advantage here?

    England have Jos Buttler.

    New Zealand perhaps have the best bowling option.

    Though Jofra Archer isn't bad.

    My head is all over the place.

  10. This was an incredible moment. Ben Stokes hit a six, Trent Boult took the catch but trod on the boundary and it was six - not out!

  11. So New Zealand's 241-8 plays England's 241 all out.

    The game was England's with Buttler and Stokes in.

    The game was New Zealand's with 15 needed off five balls.

    And yet...and yet...here we are.

  12. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Sport does this time and time again.

  13. I cannot believe what has happened.

    This is easily the greatest World Cup final of all time.

    It might be the best cricket match of all time.

    That deflection off Ben Stokes' bat. Oh my days.

  14. Super Over rules

    • England will bat first
    • Fielding side choose which end to bowl
    • Six balls each
    • Both teams can use three batsmen, one bowler
    • Loss of two wickets ends the over
    • Highest score wins
    • If tied, more boundaries across innings and super over wins

  15. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Not good. I'm not enjoying this at all.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I've never commentated on a super over.

    WICKET

    Wood run out (Boult) 0 (Eng 241 all out)

    OUT.

    WE GO TO A SUPER OVER.

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

    Full credit there. To take the ball at that pace under that pressure, it's high class.

    A super over!

  19. Third umpire

    Ben Stokes drives down the ground.

    They are running the second!

    Mark Wood do you have it?

    He looks miles short as Trent Boult breaks the stumps.

    Crucially England did get one to tie.

  20. Here comes Mark Wood to join Durham team-mate and great mate Ben Stokes.

    What does Kane Williamson do here?

    Give them a single to take it to a super over?
