The last over in normal time I thought I was going to have an heart attack.
Only watching Chelsea on a few games can match my nerves. Never been a big cricket fan. I'm now a cricket fan

Funny. I never thought cricket would have that effect on me
An incredible game...
But the umpires may have got the Stokes 'overthrow' decision wrong...
Should it have been 5 instead of 6?
"Rule 19.8 If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side.
And the allowance for the boundary
And the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act."
The throw was way before they crossed for the second run, but did the 'act' happen when it hit Stoke's bat?
Another 'did it cross the line' moment!

We were round my sons house celebrating my wife’s birthday at the time and I’ve never watched a cricket match in my life but my son literally turned the telly over and it said England needed something like 13 runs from about 6 balls and the bloke hit a six. I was hooked for the next two minutes and when we won I gave a great shout.......and got told off for waking the baby up. Still don’t think I could watch a full match though - I just don’t understand the scoring for a start!

Rees Mogg typical opportunism to make an anti EU jibe backfired.
“A d..n close run thing, we clearly don’t need Europe to win… #CricketWorldCupFinal.”
As pointed out by thousands of comments
Fine Gael spokesman for European affairs, who responded: “Your captain is Irish…”
Daniel Lawes, the founder and chief executive of YouthPolitics UK, tweeted: “Captained by an immigrant, batting led by an immigrant, fastest bowler an immigrant, leading all-rounder an immigrant, main spinner son of an immigrant.”
That's two fingers up to Tebbits Cricket test.
