A game described by countless cricket stars as the greatest they’d ever seen created social media content to match.

None was better than this exchange between the official accounts for Wimbledon and the International Cricket Council, which perfectly summed up an incredible day of sport in England.

Things are a bit hectic here right now, we'll get back to you 😅#CWC19 | #Wimbledon | #CWC1FINAL

While things were incredibly tense as England and New Zealand tied not once, but twice in a thrilling finale — the celebrations created viral moments too.

Then came Muslim duo Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, who fled the trophy dais like it was on fire after the champagne began spraying.

And of course you can’t have a final-ball thriller without setting the moment to Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On.

It was a game that captured the imagination of the world, although ex-Kiwi star Scott Styris had a firm view on which team everyone was willing to the finish line.

In the end it was New Zealand-born Ben Stokes who claimed man of the match honours for England — and the Cricket World Cup’s official account had jokes as he was honoured by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Although Harbhajan Singh didn’t appear to get it.

This wasn’t funny at all after Australia exited at the semi-final stage, but congratulations to England’s Aussie coach Trevor Bayliss.

And to show there’s no sour grapes, we’ll let Piers Morgan have the final word.

I’ve no idea what the f*ck is going on but this is the greatest game of cricket I’ve ever watched and the excitement may kill me.
