This has been incredible and just like 1966 it’s extra time. Can we find a Russian umpire?

Praying for redemption for Stokes, after his over to Brathwaite cost us a title.
MoM if we win.

Wow. Never ever watched a game of cricket before. Watched that last hour and a half.
Won’t necessarily be a cricket fan after that. But that was an outstanding spectacle.
Has to go down as one of the greatest sporting finales ever.

I've never been as nervous or excited about a sporting event in my life. We rode our luck at the end but well done England, and a genuine hard lines to the Kiwis.

Phew!
That's why I placed cricket over football in the other thread.
Football simply can't produce prolonged drama like that.

I haven’t seen a cricket match in possibly 4 decades, I was a huge fan back in the day. I was following the last few overs and Super Over via text on Sky website………………..I bet that was fun to watch! I’m hoping highlights can be found online somewhere…………….possibly YouTube?
