CRICKET WORLD CUP FINAL

New Zeeland 241-8 (50) 241 all out England
15-1                                                          15-0  super over
England win most boundaries
In an emotional and electric atmosphere at Lord's, both sides scored 241 in their 50 overs and were level on 15 when they batted for an extra over apiece.
It meant England were crowned world champions by virtue of having scored more boundary fours and sixes - 26 to New Zealand's 17 - in the entire match.
That it even got to that stage was astonishing in itself and came as a result of a barely believable conclusion at the home of cricket - the first tie in a World Cup final.
England required 15 from the last over of the regular match. Ben Stokes hit a six and then benefited when a throw from the deep hit his bat as he dived for ground and was inadvertently deflected for four overthrows.
He could not get the two needed from the last ball - Mark Wood was run out coming back for the second - but ended 84 not out and joined Jos Buttler for the super over.
In glorious evening sunshine, they were roared on by a febrile crowd that belted out Sweet Caroline in the change of innings.
When New Zealand replied, Jimmy Neesham hit Jofra Archer's third ball for six, then scrambled to leave Martin Guptill needing two from the last delivery.

MY OPINION
To win a game like this is definitely exciting and everyone would want to do it but is it right I’m not sure. I think that both the normal play and supe5r over should have something like another over until the game is won

FA CUP LAST 16 4-3-20

FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted    CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...

CRICKET WORLD CUP QUALIFER

Image
BIG WIN KEEPS IRELAND IN Ireland kept alive their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup as they earned a dominant eight-wicket win over Jersey in the Qualifier in Abu Dhabi. Mark Adair (3-10) was the pick of the bowlers, dismissing Harrison Carlyon and Jonty Jenner for ducks, as Jersey could only post 105 in their 20 overs. Fellow seamer David Delany took 2-12 as Ben Stevens top scored with 25. Paul Stirling's unbeaten 58 and Andrew Balbirnie's 33 helped the Irish easily reach their target in 14 overs.
