A very tense semi-final,played over two days,goes to New Zealand by 18 runs. India fighting back today from 5-3 and then 92-6,chasing 240 to win. MS Dhoni run out by a direct hit in the penultimate over. It shows that doing well in the group stage means nothing if you have a bad day in a semi-final. New Zealand are a team greater than the sum of their parts.

This was some catch:

England need 224 runs to reach the World Cup final.

Great bowling from England. It won't be easy getting these runs. Hopefully,there will not be any early wickets.

Surely now England couldn't collapse now:

Magnificent performance.. sets up the Ashes nicely! Now for the win on Sunday!

New Zealand 134-3 with 17 overs left.

Now 173-5 with 11 to go.

That's a decent total from New Zealand but England should be able to chase it down. Good bowling by Woakes,Plunkett and Archer.

England it's now over to you. Come on England.

ENGLAND HAVE WON IT BY THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE MARGIN!!! :cheer:

What a day of high drama this has been for sport. Finally England win the Cricket World Cup!!!! :cheer:
