England Vs New Zealand, ICC World Cup 2019 Final, Highlights: ENG Win Maiden Title After Super Over Thriller Vs NZ

00:38 hrs IST: That's it. Thank you for joining us!?

Eoin Morgan: "There wasn't a lot in that game, jeez. I'd like to commiserate with Kane. The fight, the spirit they showed. I thought it was a hard, hard game. This has been a four-year journey, we've developed a lot over those years, particularly the last two. To get over the line today means the world to us. The guys in the middle keep us cool, the way they play, the experience. It's calming at times. Not a lot between the teams. Just delighted we're lifting the trophy today. As long as he wasn't too cooked [sending Stokes back out for the Super Over]. Full credit to those two boys and Jofra. Every time he plays, he improves. The world is really at his feet at the moment."

Kane Williamson, Player of the Tournament:?"Look, it certainly wasn't just one extra run. So many small parts in that match that could have gone either way as we saw. Congratulations to England on a fantastic campaign. It's been challenging, the pitches have been a little different to what we expected. Lots of talk of 300-plus scores, but we haven't seen many of those. I'd like to thank the New Zealand team for the fight they showed to keep us in the tournament, and get us this far. A tie in the final. So many parts to it. The players are shattered at the moment. Obviously, it's devastating. They've performed at such a high level through the tournament."

Ben Stokes, Player of the Match: "I'm pretty lost for words. All the hard words that's gone in over these four years, this is where we aspired to be. To do it with such a game, I don't think there will be another like this in the history of cricket. Jos and I knew if we'd be there close to the end, New Zealand would be under pressure. Not the way I wanted to do it, ball going off my bat like that, I apologised to Kane. We backed the new kid, Jofra Archer, the talent that he's got, he showed the world today. The lads, in this one-day team, the Test team, my family, their support has been massive. Now I'm just looking forward to tonight, mate."

14:30 hrs IST: Overnight rain delays toss by 15 minutes, to be held at 14:45 IST. Match to begin at 15:15 IST.

All four matches at Lord's in World Cup 2019 have been won by team batting first.

14:15 hrs IST: The all-important toss in 15 minutes!?

338?-?No bowler has produced more dot balls than Archer's 338. New Zealand seamer Trent Boult (320) is third on the list behind Australia's Pat Cummins (323).

3?- Roy's return to the side after injury has coincided with three consecutive century stands alongside Jonny Bairstow. There have never been four successive opening partnerships worth three figures in England's ODI history.

13:52 hrs IST: Jason Roy. Lockie Ferguson.?Here’s a look at the players who will be key to their team’s chances

13:40 hrs IST: England's batting has been their strength in the years since a disastrous?2015 World Cup, though in Jofra Archer they have unearthed one of the stars of this year’s event.

The Barbados-born paceman only made his international debut in May but has taken 19 World Cup wickets, the most for England.

1,029 -?England (2,942) have scored 1,029 more runs than New Zealand (1,913) in the tournament, though they played an extra league game as the Black Caps' fixture with India?was washed out.

India's World Cup semi-final defeat to New Zealand is yet to sink in and reports of an internal rift in the team have already emerged, claiming that there are two groups -- Virat Kohli camp and Rohit Sharma camp. Read full story here?

13:10 hrs IST:?WHAT THEY SAID -?

England captain Morgan: "I think in general throughout the tournament the scores have been a lot lower than they have previously here in the last three or four years. Us adjusting to that has been harder work than it normally is. New Zealand have done it brilliantly and Lord's isn't ever a high-scoring ground so I'd say?it will be a bit of a battle."

Black Caps skipper Williamson: "We were in a different part of the world on a different surface against a different opposition [for the 2015 final], and both sides are very different from four years ago, so it's kind of hard to compare those times.?Whether having had experience in a final or not is a good thing??Any final you get the opportunity to play in is a really positive thing."

13:00 hrs IST: Bobby Moore, Martin Johnson and Heather Knight are part of a select group to have lifted the World Cup in England colours but on the eve of the World Cup final Eoin Morgan has not allowed himself to dream of doing the same.

Morgan will lead England in their first ICC Cricket World Cup final in 27 years against New Zealand at Lord’s, hoping to match England’s men’s football skipper Moore in 1966 and England women’s cricket captain Knight two years ago in lifting the trophy on home soil.

359?-?Only one team has managed to score more than 300 in a World Cup final when batting first, Australia posting 359/2 against India 16 years ago.

275?-?The highest successful chase in a World Cup final came in 2011 when India (277/4) beat Sri Lanka.

12:40 hrs IST:?Ross Taylor (987 runs) and Martin Guptill (976) are?vying to become the second player after Stephen Fleming (1,075) to score 1,000 World Cup runs for New Zealand. Williamson requires 119 to reach the milestone.

12:37 hrs IST: BIG NUMBER -?Ben Stokes is yet to be hit for a six in the tournament, making him the only one of 59 bowlers to send down more than 30 overs yet to concede a maximum.

12:35 hrs IST: STAT ATTACK -?4 out of 5?-?The team that has won the toss has lost four of the previous five World Cup finals. Australia's victory over Sri Lanka in 2007 is the exception.

12:31 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the ICC World Cup final between hosts England and the 2015 finalists New Zealand. Promises to be an excellent contest!

Both ENG and NZ lost three matches during the league stage, with the Kiwis squeezing into the semi-finals as the last of the four qualifiers. However, they then produced an excellent display to down India in a rain-affected semi-final at Old Trafford, Manchester that spanned two days. (RESULTS)

England, on the other hand, had a major setback when the in-form opener Jason Roy was injured, but they head into the final on the back of victories against India, New Zealand and Australia.

Roy (426 runs) and Jonny Bairstow (496)?have been phenomenal, while Joe Root (549) has exactly been what England needed in the tournament, a stable batsman holding the middle-order. Ben Stokes has been great in whatever chances he has got, while Jos Buttler is due for a big knock.

In bowling,?Jofra Archer?(19 wickets), Chris Woakes (13) and Liam Plunkett (8) have been impressive.

Even Mark Wood (17), despite some inconsistencies, has been good and Adil Rashid (11 wickets) scalped three in the semi-final.

For New Zealand,?Williamson?shoulders the burden of expectation in terms of their batting, having hit 548 runs at the tournament. Opener Martin Guptill has struggled - passing 50 just once.

Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson have taken 35 wickets between them, posing a twin pace threat to England’s power-packed batting lineup.
