Pakistan vs England LIVE! Stokes heroics - T20 World Cup final result, match stream and latest updates today

Pakistan vs England LIVE!

England beat Pakistan by five wickets in a pulsating final T20 World Cup Final. Chasing 138 in in Melbourne, Ben Stokes further wrote himself into English cricket folklore by guiding England to victory with 52 not out under intense pressure. The win means England become the first team to hold the men’s 20 and 50-over world titles.

Stokes was there at the end, as he was in the 2019 50-over World Cup Final three years ago. He capitalised on a cruel injury to Pakistan left-armer pace bowler Shaheen Afridi and took his side to victory with six balls to spare. This could be the last dance for a number of the England squad - including Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid - though Jos Buttler insists otherwise.
