Why is it a huge advantage to the team that bats on the poorer wicket?

Warmed up with their eye in. I suppose a particularly large advantage for England given that Stokes was there at the end of the innings too.

**** sensational. What a game. What a knock from Stokes. Absolutely **** chuffed. It’s not been pretty at times this tournament but we’ve deserved that! 

Feel very sorry for New Zealand, 102 overs of cricket only to lose on boundaries hit. Very harsh.

Seems to be a ridiculously huge advantage to the team who bats last in the game? Silly idea. 

Fantastic drama though - and a fantastic result!

I think majority of games won in the world cup have been by the team batting first this year. Towards the end of the group stages something like 16 out of 21 games were won by batting first and batting the other team out of contention. 

Crazy drama though. Do feel for NZ but naturally delighted we won.
