What a day in sport!
Both the Cricket World Cup final and the Wimbledon Men's final going right down to the wire, at the same time, in different suburbs of London.
Congratulations to England and Novak Djokovic on your wins.
In case anyone missed all of the action in London yesterday, here's a write up that describes some of the nail biting exploits, both at Lords and Wimbledon.
England win Cricket World Cup: A golden hour ends in a champagne super over
You have to feel for the Kiwis, missing out on the Cricket World Cup. I believe under the old rules they would have won in normal time, as they lost fewer wickets in scoring their 241 runs than England did. They also would have won if the two runs that Ben Stokes scored in the final over had not turned into six when the return ball amazingly hit his bat as he was reaching for the crease and deflected to the boundary for the most incredible six ever scored in a World Cup final, if not any game of cricket, anywhere.

Commiserations to New Zealand and Roger Federer, who fought so hard and came so close.
