A tied Super Over. I remember running up to Jofra when he complained about the wide being given by the umpire and he turned to me and said to refer it. "On the World Cup semi-final, as England thumped Australia by eight wickets at Edgbaston after dismissing Aaron Finch's men for 223 and then winning inside 33 overs..."We were happy bowling first. As I finished talking to the coach [Trevor Bayliss] and we decided Jofra was going to bowl the Super Over, I turned to try and find him. I still ask Ben now why he didn't hit the last ball for six. Jonny Bairstow very focused in one corner of the dressing room, Jason Roy in the other was jumping up and down like a school kid. We didn't know what to say to each other - laughing, screaming, smiles.
It was our game to win at the time, needing two off one ball, but the clear-thinking side of Ben came out.
I remember that feeling [of lifting the trophy] and I'll never forget it. I jumped on about three people. I heard a massive roar from the changing room and Jason Roy and Jos Buttler lost themselves. I didn't know what to feel. Here's how victorious captain Eoin Morgan recalled a remarkable tournament, which completed a stunning turnaround in England's white-ball fortunes following the debacle of the 2015 World Cup.Read on below for the captain's thoughts in detail on an unforgettable final at Lord's and how England rallied when their hopes of making the knockout stage were in serious jeopardy, as well how the mindset shifted over four years...Morgan on the winning moment, as Jos Buttler ran out New Zealand's Martin Guptill after collecting Jason Roy's throw from the deep..."Everyone went mad, running around, hugging each other, cheering. Having lost in the manner that we did and playing the way we did was more disappointing than the loss.
The next ball you could not write, the ricochet - I could not believe it. While I was waiting to bat I was trying to save energy. He just couldn't wait to get out there and do his thing. The only feeling I can relate it to is when you are a kid running or cycling down a hill as fast as you can.
Handling being No 1 in the world and going into the World Cup with the favourites' tag sat really well with us. At one point, I was sat on the balcony with Liam Plunkett and both of us were talking about where we were going to score the runs, how we were going to get ourselves over the line. The semi-final performance was our best ever in white-ball cricket. I walked around the changing room asking people random questions. We were practicising our knuckle balls at the start of the tournament - me to try and use in two years, but he got Maxwell with it in the semi-final! Leaving having been knocked out, I remember having a glass of wine on the flight back, reading my notes and making more just in case I managed to keep the captaincy. The game was ebbing and flowing, I hope we have inspired people to want to do this in the future. Did it hit the keeper? I got some wickets against India and played my way in. England win the men's World Cup for the first time as they beat New Zealand in a super over in one of the most incredible games in cricket history. Not one part of us was nervous, it was just the excitement of what was ahead. It was absolutely remarkable. Having bowled a side out for 230, I would have backed us nine times out of 10 to win that game quite comfortably. The biggest thing for us is that we were playing our best game of cricket. Jason and Jonny at the top of the order were then a commanding force against India, with Jonny getting his first World Cup hundred, which was absolutely amazing to watch. I said, 'yes, it is mate!'
There was huge intent from Roy and Bairstow up front, they really imposed themselves and it pegged Australia's fast bowlers back. "On the first game of the World Cup, against South Africa at The Oval, as their bid for glory began..."There was a huge level of anxiety going around the changing room. You need one to watch live TV on any channel or device, and BBC programmes on iPlayer. "On how England rebounded from defeats to Sri Lanka and Australia in the group stage to come through must-win games against India and New Zealand and set up a semi-final against Australia…"It was incredibly disappointing [against Sri Lanka].
A single off the last would give England victory because they had hit more boundaries throughout the game.Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler smacked 15 off Trent Boult in England's Super Over.Then two astonishing, breathtaking, pieces of fortune went England's way. So people who scored runs in the game were probably the best to send straight back out. People were almost talking gibberish for a while but laughing about it. It's one year to the day since England won the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup. And the one thing we always said was that if Ben Stokes was there at the end, we had a chance. The game was quite cagey but you could feel everybody watching every ball.

The bowling unit had their best game.
I couldn't believe what was happening. It was the most extraordinary turn of events.
