Telstar was the first 32-panel black-and-white ball used in the FIFA World Cup finals. Only 20 were supplied by Adidas. A brown ball (Germany-Peru) and a white ball (first half of Italy-Germany) were used in some matches.
Australia played similarly, moving the ball to the outer channels when they could, resulting in England making around 93 tackles and defending 79 rucks. Neither side played edge-to-edge rugby, nor did they play not one-out stuff. Both England and Australia's back three saw plenty of action in attack.

Having opted to bat first, New Zealand appeared to have got over the early dismissal of Martin Guptill as Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls put on 74 for the second wicket. Even when Liam Plunkett removed the set pair, a good review confirming Williamson had feathered behind before Nicholls chopped on, the Black Caps looked well-placed to post in ...
At the time, a pretty innocuous incident. New Zealand had battled their way up to 241-8 from 49.5 overs, not necessarily a match-winning total but certainly a competitive one in a final. Jofra Archer had bowled a superb spell at the death and had one ball left to bowl to see out the innings. He chose the bouncer and clearly surprised Mitchell Santn...

In the 48.3 overs between Roy's reprieve and Boult losing his bearings on the boundary, the game had not so much ebbed and flowed as swung violently one way and then the other. After England slipped to 86-4, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler gradually worked the hosts into a position where there was hope and, for the briefest of moments before the latter ...
Fifteen needed off the final over - at least we thought it was at the time - became 15 off four balls as Stokes turned down singles from the first two balls from Boult. The World Cup was slowly slipping away from England and into the grateful arms of Williamson and New Zealand. Fear not though, Stokes was not done yet and got down to slog-sweep the...
With Rashid and Wood run out trying to get back for two in consecutive deliveries, the scores were tied and the game went to a Super Over. One over each, most runs wins - simple. Stokes and Buttler were the obvious choices for England and Boult again was the bowler. Stokes got the third ball away for four and Buttler ended the set with another boun...
