What a way to beat your arch rivals to get to the World Cup final! A brilliant performance by England.
The final will be shown Sunday on Channel 4 after Sky Sports made an agreement with them..

They should be clear favourites for Sunday now, though New Zealand have earned the right to be there. Funny how the teams finishing 3rd and 4th respectively have made the Final, though, but I guess that's the nature of the knock out format.
I suppose, with hindsight, New Zealand are the team who are most suited to English conditions with their line-and-length swing bowling and patient stroke play. England need to remove Williamson and Taylor cheaply (particularly Williamson), but should still win pretty comfortably.
Or maybe not, with my rubbish predictions!
I can't see this being an epic, close fought final.
Odd on an easy England victory or a 1 in 10 chance of an English collapse chasing a mediocre target.
It’s looking like it will be a close contest. The Kiwis look very comfortable at the crease. England need to change something.
Plunkett’s turned the game!
Great bowling by the Kiwis. This will be a very good win for either side. What a great final!
Yes, it's turning into something like that. Nail-biting stuff.
Bit like Wimbledon winning the FA Cup, fairytales occasionally happen in sport.
England didn't deserve to win because they were too negative from the off in the run chase.
Left themselves too much to do in the end - poor game management really OR maybe the self-belief wasn't there?
New Zealand deserved to winby keeping to their strengths, huile and never giving up.
Not a bad final, maybe a Super Over would have been the icing on the cake!
I cannot believe we've lost that game data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Nice edit on your post above @When In Rome, I was going to say you were too soon in your claim we would win.
Maybe I've been too hasty lol, that was a lucky touch
