So, remember the third-last ball of England's innings, when Ben Stokes deflected the ball to the boundary when diving to complete a second run...

Well, turns out England should have been awarded five runs instead of six - because Stokes and Adil Rashid hadn't crossed for the second run when the throw was made.

That's according to Simon Taufel,, external the ICC's umpire of the year from 2004 to 2008 and a member of the MCC laws sub-committee.

And finally from Ashley Giles: “We have had more focus on white-ball cricket, which we have never done. Test cricket has always taken primacy in this country and we have probably paid lip service to white ball cricket in the past.

“Then Andrew Strauss came in four years ago, his partnership with Eoin Morgan and Trevor Bayliss has got us to this point now.

“It some ways people saw it as a risky strategy and our performance in Test cricket has suffered slightly during that period but Andrew always saw a home World Cup as the best opportunity to win a 50-over World Cup and yesterday we achieved it.”

Further to Stephan's comment earlier, Ben Stokes is definitely looking a little bleary eyed this morning. Think it may have been a late one.

Ashley Giles added to the BBC: "We've got some good momentum going into the Ashes now, and doing a World Cup and Ashes double in one summer would be fantastic."

You're not wrong Gilo...and only 17 days till the First Test starts at Edgbaston. Can't wait!

Ben Stokes' eyes tell a tale. He is 2019's Andrew Flintoff.

Ashley Giles, who succeeded Andrew Strauss as managing director of England’s men’s cricket in January, speaking to the BBC: "The process has taken four years, bringing in the brand of cricket they have, and over the last few weeks the nation has got behind the team.

"Seeing the scenes at Trafalgar Square of everyone watching the end of the game, it gives you a nice buzz.

"I've been in the job seven months but it was Andrew Strauss that set this running. He did a fantastic job of focusing on white-ball cricket and now we've won a World Cup. He, Eoin Morgan and Trevor Bayliss deserve great credit.

"It's a fantastic group. they've played some great cricket and deserve to be world champions."

Arron Sankey: Controversially, I agree with Alex (11:54). Both teams under performed with the bat and there were arduous passages of play in both innings. The last hour was all drama and heroics but the other seven were simply 'good'. I don't care though!!!

90% of the population today?!

England’s director of cricket Ashley Giles has just spoken to us at The Oval too. He said the team will have a reception at Downing Street later.

Novak Djokovic says his epic Wimbledon final victory over Roger Federer was his most "mentally demanding" match - and he even had to tell himself the partisan crowd was cheering for him.

Djokovic, 32, retained his title with a 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 13-12 (7-3) win over the eight-time champion, 37.

Lasting four hours 57 minutes, it was the longest Wimbledon singles final.

"When the crowd is chanting 'Roger' I hear 'Novak'," said the Serb. "It sounds silly, but it is like that."

Djokovic - now a five-time Wimbledon champion - added: "Mentally this was different level.
