What a day this has been for every cricket fan!! Everyone had their hearts in their mouth in the closing stages of the match. There was no lack of drama, from Boult's failed effort, Stokes' converting a 2 to a six. Twitterati were having a roller coaster ride as the match kept on swinging.
Brief scores : England 15/0 beat New Zealand 15/1 in Super Over (on the virtue of hitting more boundaries)
New Zealand 241/8 in 50 overs (Henry Nicholls 55, Tom Latham 47; Liam Plunkett 3/42, Chris Woakes 3/37) tied against England 241/10 in 50 overs (Ben Stokes 84, Jos Buttler 59; Lockie Ferguson 3/50, James Neesham 3/43)
We know the feel!
The tension is unbearable

And then these events happened!
The Boult catch on the boundary rope and the 6 runs off the overthrows in the final over.....man, will NZ come to rue those chances?

Looks like it did cost NZ the title!
Boult taking the catch FAR too easy to get Stokes out and steps out for 6, could cost New Zealand the game
