Ben Stokes reflects on World Cup win three years on from England's super over victory

Three years ago today England won the Cricket World Cup in dramatic fashion at Lord's, beating New Zealand as a result of the boundary countback rule.

Both sides scored 241 from their 50 overs and then also scored 15 in the resultant super over in one of the greatest cricket matches of all time. Ben Stokes was named player of the match after scoring an unbeaten 84 and the all-rounder reflected on the final ahead of England's second ODI against India.

The match just so happens to be getting played on the three-year anniversary of the World Cup win at the exact same venue. Reflecting on that final and the super over in an interview with Sky Sports, Stokes admitted it still gives him "goosebumps".
