Cricket World Cup final player ratings: Ben Stokes' England edge past unlucky New Zealand

Here's a report card of how each of the 22 players fared in the summit clash at Lord's on Sunday

Jason Roy (3/10): Was clearly not his day as he was unable to capitalise on a reprieve he got in the first over. He did well to get to 17 before being undone by a Matt Henry outswinger. Getty Images

Jonny Bairstow (7/10): Played with great poise and steadied the ship even as wickets fell around him. Hit an uncharacteristic shot - playing on for 36 - but had laid a decent foundation for his team. Reuters

Joe Root (3/10): Took a record 13th catch at the Cricket World Cup, but had a poor day with the bat. Getty Images

Eoin Morgan (3/10): Manfully led his team on the field to limit New Zealand's total to 241, but also had a poor outing with the bat. Getty Images

Ben Stokes (9/10): Rode his luck but played a brilliant knock to not only force a tie but also win in the super over. Reuters

Jos Buttler (8/10): Was brilliant with the bat, scoring 59 and setting up a 110-run partnership with Ben Stokes. Did well in the super over as well, especially running out New Zealand's Martin Guptill. Reuters

Chris Woakes (8/10): One of the best bowlers in the tournament, he took three wickets today, including the ones of Martin Guptill, Tom Latham and Colin de Grandhomme. Gave away just 37 runs in nine overs. Reuters

Liam Plunkett (8/10): The other England fast bowler to have a field day, he was excellent in taking the important wickets of Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson and Jimmy Neesham. His first spell was perhaps the best in the game. Reuters

Jofra Archer (7/10): Bowled a fiery opening spell without any success - perhaps because he was bowling a bit short. But he came back well at the death and got himself a wicket. Did well to concede just 42 runs in his 10-over spell. But he made his day, and England's, after bowling a brilliant super over. Getty Images

Adil Rashid (4/10): Had a quiet day at the office but got through his eight overs quickly and played the supporting role the other bowlers needed. Reuters

Martin Guptill (3/10): Batted positively, hitting a great six off the bowling of Jofra Archer, but failed to kick on thereafter. Nearly pulled off an amazing win in the super over, but was not to be. Getty Images

Henry Nicholls (8/10): Mixed caution with aggression to become the only New Zealander to score a fifty on Sunday. Laid the foundation for a competitive score. Reuters

Kane Williamson (5/10): Batted confidently for as long as he was in the middle before getting the faintest of edges to be caught behind for 30. Marshalled his team well while England were batting and was good in the field. Getty Images

Ross Taylor (3/10): Form player in the run-up to the final, he looked set at the wicket before being dismissed LBW for 15. Missed a trick by not asking for a review as he will have survived and possibly made a better score. PA Wire

Tom Latham (8/10): Batted well in the second half of New Zealand's innings to score a vital 47 and ensure New Zealand had a competitive total on the board. Held on to his catches behind the stumps, too. Reuters

Jimmy Neesham (8/10): Got to a well-made 19 before trying to up the ante and getting out. He bowled well, too, taking the crucial wicket of Eoin Morgan and shining at the death. He did well with the bat in the super over as well. Getty Images

Colin de Grandhomme (6/10): Struggled in the middle especially against the pace of Jofra Archer before getting out for just 16. He bowled much better than he batted, taking 1-25 in a stingy 10-over spell. Dropped what seemed like a straightforward return catch from Jonny Bairstow, though. AP Photo

Mitchell Santner (4/10): Came in at the death before scoring just five. His left-arm spin bowling was steady at best and certainly not spectacular. Reuters

Matt Henry (7/10): Bowled a brilliant opening spell, taking the wicket of Jason Roy and essentially putting the brakes on England's run-scoring. A fighter at heart. Getty Images

Trent Boult (6/10): Bowled a fantastic opening spell, too, and was unfortunate to not get the wicket off the first ball of the England innings that would have sent Jason Roy back to the pavilion. But he proved a trifle expensive thereafter. He will also remember conceding a six to Ben Stokes at the boundary for a long time. Reuters

Lockie Ferguson (8/10): Bowled his heart out, as he has throughout the tournament, taking the prized wicket of Jonny Bairstow and holding on to a brilliant catch in the outfield to dismiss England captain Eoin Morgan. Getty Images
