England are world champions after an astonishing World Cup final victory against New Zealand.
Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett bowled England to a good position by limiting New Zealand to 241.
And it required a sensational 110-run partnership between Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes to get them back into the match after collapsing to 86-4.
