The Wimbledon Men’s Final achieved a peak of 9.6million following an incredibly closely fought match between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, making it the most watched sporting event of the day across all TV channels.

We've just had a chance to ask Ben Stokes about whether it was five or six runs from that incident when the ball deflected off his bat to the boundary.

He told the BBC: "It's not how you want things to work out but it was written in the stars when things like that happen.

"With Trent Boult standing on the (boundary) rope, I think when stuff like that goes your way it's just meant to be."

England batsman Joe Root speaking to the BBC: "It's a phenomenal achievement. To be involved in the previous World Cup and go through all that, to see the transformation and development of the side over the last four years, and to be part of that journey has been extremely enjoyable and exciting.

"We've had some great fun on the field, playing in the manner we have, and now to enjoy being world champions, it's brilliant. I'm so proud of everyone that's involved in it, I'm so pleased for Eoin Morgan after all the hard work he's put in, building and growing this team.

"Plus Trevor Bayliss and all the guys that have played, seeing them improve the whole time and for us now to enjoy a day like yesterday. Hopefully it's the start of something much bigger as well."

As England batsman Joe Root was helping take the team to victory against New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup final, his nan Mary told BBC Radio 5 Live she had a big match of her own.

Videos of grandparents' euphoric reactions to England's Cricket World Cup win have captured the mood of the momentous occasion on social media.

Head here to check out some adorable stories.

Linda, a church deacon from Stoke-on-Trent, told BBC Radio 5 Live how she managed to follow the climax of the Cricket World Cup final even though she was at a service at the time.

She said she even had a secret code to let the church organist - also a big cricket fan - know if England were winning.

This was basically me in front of the TV...

In hindsight, I'm glad I had the day off work so I could run around like a headless chicken in the comfort of my own living room...

"This is exactly what cricket needed," ex-England captain Michael Vaughan said.

"This is the moment that, in five, 10 years time, we'll see kids playing cricket in the street [as a result].

"We've had great days in Test cricket - but this is another level. This is something I've never experienced."

The game was watched by a sold out-crowd at Lord's who lived every ball, and was also shown on free-to-air TV on Channel 4, as well as Sky.

"The best final I've ever seen, the best game I've ever seen," said England all-rounder Moeen Ali.

"This has changed cricket in our country."

There will never be another finish to a World Cup final like that.

For England to win it, in front of a full house at Lord's in that incredible atmosphere, on free-to-air TV, with a massive audience on the radio and online, could not have been any better.

If that doesn't show people what an amazing sport cricket is and entice them to get into the game, I'm not sure what will.

It was the most ridiculous game of cricket, tied twice. You can debate the fairness of winning on the amount of boundaries scored, and you have to have some sympathy for New Zealand. How would we feel about that system if England had lost?

But, if the objective of this summer was to sell the game, maybe if England had lost we would still feel the final was something that would put cricket right up there as a sport everyone should get involved in.

Everything that was wanted to be achieved was achieved, and so much more on top. Now cricket has an amazing platform from which to build.

I don't think the England and Wales Cricket Board, and those of us who love cricket, can have asked for anything more.

I'm sure he's celebrating up there, Andy.
