    It was amazing.

    Ben Stokes stuck around for a long time. His strike-rate was 60 at one point but then he hit a four and six and that brought England back into the game.

    The players are all out there with their family. They will be feeling pure elation and relief.

    Curran has been the best bowler in the tournament. He has shown high skill.

    'Outstanding' - Curran takes 3-12 from his four overs

  5. Sam Curran is man of the match and player of the tournament.

    What a performance.

  7. Buttler, Stokes, Moeen, Woakes, Rashid and Wood are the elite group who were in both the 2019 and 2022 squads.

    It was a very good game of cricket. England were always on top.

    After 12 overs of the Pakistan innings they were in a fantastic position to get a score of 160 and that would have been enough.

    I can see Adil Rashid on the big screen now, what a part he has played in the last two games.

  10. England are only the second men's team, after West Indies, to win two T20 World Cups and are the first to hold both men's World Cups at the same time.

    As recently as 2015 they were abysmal at white-ball cricket.

    For anyone who can remember the years of English misery at major tournaments, it is extraordinary to see them so dominant.

    Moeen Ali has just leapt in someones arms, it might be Paul Collingwood's. You can just see what this means to him.

    Moeen is shaking hands with absolutely everyone. I've never seen him like that. He's normally very reserved.

  13. The injury to Shaheen was certainly a turning point, but it's worth remembering England have just won the World Cup without Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Reece Topley, Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan.

    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It is great times for English cricket, to just keep winning. They have been so good in white-ball cricket.

  15. "It's been a good one," says Ben Stokes.

    Not wrong.

    Lord's 2019, Headingley 2019, now this.

    There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes and Ben Stokes will hold his nerve.

    Does Ben Stokes know the meaning of the word fear?

  17. The England players are saluting a corner of the MCG where their fans are.

    Ben Stokes is about to speak to TV...

    Mark Wood has got his arms wrapped around Chris Jordan, the man who took his place when he got injured.

    That's all, Stokes!

  20. England win the 2022 Men's Twenty20 World Cup

    England players emptied the dugout and mobbed Stokes and Livingstone. Pakistan are crestfallen.
