What an incredible match, so hard-fought and so close. We had lost that twice I think, once by being always 10 runs behind where we wanted to be in the run chase and again after New Zealand's six in the Super Over. To drag it back once let alone twice was impressive, even if a bit of luck was needed.
A nice piece here anyway, just look at the reactions in the bloody Pavilion.

Greatest one day match ever, not sure on that. but given the occasion then I suppose it is a reasonable claim.
Shall we have a thread for links of coverage? |  |

Certainly think it has a good claim to being the best ODI ever, given the context of it being a final. And us winning, of course... |  |

On top of this, I'd like to add that New Zealand were the perfect opponents too.
Nothing snidey about them, they just get on with the game much like England do. |  |

Agreed.
Guptill giving the 6 straight away when Boult stood on the boundary was real class. | |

The crowd singing 'Crickets coming home' in the background on this is unreal. | |

If that had been scripted in some cheesy Disney sports movie, you'd laugh at how ridiculous it was.
To get a 6 off the ball hitting Stokes bat in the last over to keep us alive, to draw and then to win in the manner that we did, with a run out, probably a 20th of a second before the batsman got home was just unreal.
To do so with Stokes being the hero after what's happened and with Archer being the hero as well, after some people thought he shouldn't be included leading up to the tournament. Insane. |  |

I was listening in the car - incredible radio apart from anything. I had a bit of sympathy for the new Zealand commentator who felt it was a draw really. |  |

You can't have a final finish as a draw. | |

Also fails to understand the concept of a final, which I think was the point Steve is making here. | |

Yeah yeah, I know you're all right, but imagine it - the two captains lifting the cup together - think it would have been lovely.
Hey ho, you're all brutes as per. | |

It really wouldn't though.
I'd genuinely rather NZ won it than we shared it. How anti climatic would sharing the trophy have been? | |

It was one of the most gripping sporting occasions I've ever watched, and I gained an enormous amount of respect and sympathy for that New Zealand side yesterday.
There had to be a result, but nobody deserved to lose that final. |  |
