England’s cricket World Cup final clash with New Zealand has ended in a final over tie – ending in a super over victory.
Superb bowling by England’s Liam Plunkett had restricted the Black Caps to 241-8.
The run chase got off to a rocky start as New Zealand demolished England’s top order, taking four early wickets.
But Ben Stokes and Josh Buttler put on a hundred partnership to revive the innings.
And in a dramatic last over, Ben Stokes hit a six and England got six overthrows when a New Zealand fielder hit Stokes bat to send the bowl to the boundary.
England secured a win on more boundaries scored after the super over was also tied.
Earlier, Surrey bowler Liam Plunkett ended with figures of 3-40 off his 10 overs – claiming the important wickets of Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson (30) and Henry Nicholls (55) in the space of 14 balls.
