    It doesn't matter, Stokes is on strike! They threw to the wrong end.

    WHAT A GAME!

    WICKET

    Rashid run out (Santner) 0 (Eng 240-9)

    Ben Stokes drives to long off and two is the call.

    It's never on but the throw comes in to the wrong end!

    Adil Rashid is run out by a mile at the non-striker's end.

    But that means Stokes is on strike for the final ball.

  3. Kane Williamson sorts out his field and has a lengthy chat with Trent Boult.

    Here we go...

    Adam: Have you ever seen anything like that...

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

    Nothing you can do about that. That is luck!

  6. Ben Stokes apologises but he didn't do it deliberately.

    It's in the rules, that counts.

    Cricket, you cruel sport.

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

    You have to say that Ben Stokes never has his eye on the ball. A freak!

  8. Eng 239-8

    Need three from two balls

    This is the most insane thing in the history of sport.

    Ben Stokes whacks it out to mid-wicket, he comes back for two as the ball is thrown in.

    The ball HITS HIS BAT AND RUNS AWAY FOR FOUR.

    THAT IS SIX RUNS.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    What a shot! Well, well Ben Stokes...

  10. 6 runs

    Eng 233-8

    A simply majestic bit of hitting from Ben Stokes.

    Trent Boult gives him just a bit of room and Stokes whacks it into the stands over mid-wicket.

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

    What bowling that is.

  12. Eng 227-8

    Need 15 runs from four balls

    Ben Stokes drills it straight to cover. Trent Boult is bowling amazingly well.

  13. Eng 227-8

    Need 15 runs from five balls

    Superb full ball from Trent Boult and Ben Stokes turns down the single.

  14. Just think what would Carlos do, Ben.

  15. England need 15 runs from six balls to win the 2019 men's cricket World Cup.

    Trent Boult to bowl.

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

    For England to win the game Ben Stokes has to take all six. Deal in even numbers.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Archer b Neesham 0 (Eng 227-8)

    Well, not quite a free hit, given you can get out.

    Jofra Archer tries to leather it into the stands beyond mid-wicket but it's a crafty slower ball from Jimmy Neesham.

    Archer is through the shot too early and sees his stumps rearranged.

  18. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    What a terrific finish.

  19. Eng 227-7

    Need 15 runs from seven balls

    Ben Stokes cracks it down the ground - can they get two?

    No, he sends Jofra Archer back.

    Free hit for Archer. A boundary would be very handy.

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

    He thought he was a metre inside, he was casual and stepped back and trod on the boundary!
