That does feel desperately unfair on NZ.
Now let people come on here and say that cricket is mind-numbingly boring.

The game was theirs until Boult took a catch over the boundary and then we had unbelievable luck with 4 overthrows off the bat to really let us back into it. We then set a high bar with the super over and Archer recovered from a shaky start in the super over. Seems like these days bottling it is just synonymous with losing, at least in the eyes of fans and media.

Well that was avoidable as well, Boult’s last over was awful, like I said, at the crunch moment they bottled it
Unbelievable. Unf**kingbelievable. I don't believe in that spiritual shite but that overthrow of Stokes' bat was something eerie. Meant to be. We'll never see anything like that again. England world champions - amazing stuff.
The way New Zealand are bowling we're going to lose this. What is it with England sporting teams? We just don't ever seem to be able to get over the line.

Yeah,I saw that MM. That's the point isn't it? What's the point in winning if you cheat to do it?
Watching the highlights now - when Boult carries that ball over the boundary for 6, Guptil straight away puts his hands up to signal it's a 6. Absolutely unbelievable sportsmanship in that situation.
