Ben Stokes was labelled "almost superhuman" as he inspired England to World Cup glory for the first time after a thrilling conclusion to their final against New Zealand at Lord's.

England's chances of overhauling New Zealand's 241 for eight seemed to be forlorn but under the utmost pressure, Stokes held his nerve to contribute an unbeaten 84 to leave the scores tied at the end of a dramatic 100 overs.

He added: "It was the most incredible game of cricket, with nothing between the sides. It was the finest of margins, and it could have gone either way.

"I spoke to Adil (Rashid) and he said that Allah was with us. So Allah was with us as well.

"I commend the Black Caps and Kane (Williamson, New Zealand captain), they've been absolutely incredible. Admirable spirit, the fight they've shown."

Asked about his future, Morgan added: "We'll let the dust settle. We'll celebrate as hard as we can and then reflect."

Morgan and the rest of the team will celebrate the World Cup victory at the Kia Oval in Kennington, Surrey, on Monday morning.

Gates are open to the public at 10.30am and the team will arrive at 11.30am.
