England's cricketers made history on Sunday, winning their first World Cup in history after their dramatic win over New Zealand at Lord's.

The diverse squad was captained by Dublin-born Eoin Morgan and also includes players born in Barbados, New Zealand and South Africa - as well as two players with Pakistani heritage.

Here's a rundown of who's who in the team and what their role was in the closing stages of their successful World Cup bid.

• Eoin Morgan

England's talismanic Irish-born captain notched up 371 runs across the World Cup, including a record 17 sixes for a mighty 148 against Afghanistan.

During Sunday's game against New Zealand, he batted fourth in the order, notching up just nine runs before being caught out.

Morgan debuted for Ireland when he was 16, but the 32-year-old - who has an English mother - switched allegiances to England in 2009.

He became the one-day international (ODI) captain just before the last World Cup and is now England's most-capped one-day player.

Speaking after the final, he said "I'm pretty lost for words. All the hard work that's gone in over these four years, this is where we aspired to be."

• Ben Stokes

The New Zealand-born England batsman hit 465 in the tournament, with 84 of those runs being scored in Sunday's game - the highest total of the day.

He began the World Cup with a sensational catch against South Africa that some commentators said ranked among the best ever.

The all-rounder, who plays for Durham, moved to Cumbria when he was 12 after his father got a job coaching rugby there.

He made headlines for the wrong reasons last year when he lost his England vice-captaincy and a place on the Ashes tour after footage emerged of him brawling outside a Bristol nightclub.

He was reinstated when a trial cleared him of affray.

• Jofra Archer

All eyes were on the 24-year-old Barbadian fast bowler at Lord's, as Archer was chosen to bowl during the unprecedented Super Over.

He sent jitters through the nation as his first ball of the final over was wide, gifting New Zealand an extra run, as well as the chance to hit the ball again.

The reprieve came as the final ball of the over was sent towards the stumps after it was hit. by New Zealand, giving England the win.

New Zealand needed 16 from 6 after England's Super Over innings - a target which Archer tweeted all the way back in 2013, in an accurate foretelling of the score he would need to prevent in the biggest game of his life, six years later.

Archer was born in Bridgetown, Barbados, to an English father and Bajan mother and now plays for Sussex.

He joined the squad after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) changed the qualification rules so three years of residency were enough, rather than seven.

• Jonny Bairstow

Bairstow stepped out in his opening partnership with Roy at Lord's on Sunday, batting 36 before being bowled out.

It meant he put away 532 runs across the tournament, with a few centuries too, against India and New Zealand in the opening stages of the competition.

Bairstow was born in Bradford and plays county cricket for Yorkshire, as well as T-20 for Indian side Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The wicket keeper-batsman made his debut in the one-day side in 2011 and played his first Test the following year.

In another world, the 29-year-old may have been a footballer - he had trials with Leeds United as a right-back.

• Joe Root

Root had a brief appearance at the wicket in the final, scoring just seven runs from 30 balls.

However, Root helped England ease over the line in the semi against Australia, hitting 49 off 46 balls - including eight fours.

The Sheffield-born batsman is captain of the England Test team and went to the same school as Olympian Jessica Ennis.

He has scored 556 this World Cup, including centuries against the West Indies and Pakistan.

Root, 28, who represents his home county Yorkshire, made his Test debut in 2012.

Long pegged as a future captain, he took over from Alastair Cook in February 2017, and will face off against the Aussies five more times this summer as he leads his side in The Ashes.

• Chris Woakes

Described by Andrew Strauss as "England's unsung hero", Woakes took three wickets in Sunday's final.

The Birmingham-born seam bowler took 16 wickets and 134 runs in his second World Cup.

A remarkable 2016, including 11 for 102 in a Test against Pakistan, saw him named one of Wisden's cricketers of the year and revived his five-day career.

The 30-year-old plays county cricket for Warwickshire - and is also an Aston Villa supporter.

• Jason Roy

Born in Durban, South Africa, Roy put in a phenomenal performance in the semi-final - knocking 85 off 65 balls.

During the final, however, he was caught out after just 17 runs off 20 balls.

He managed two centuries in the tournament - including a 153 against Bangladesh - among 443 runs in the tournament so far as part of a dynamic opening partnership with Bairstow.

His return after injury for the must-win final pool games against India and Sunday's opponents, New Zealand, re-ignited England's campaign after successive defeats.

The 28-year-old came to the UK at 10, and a Surrey county debut came at 17. He still plays for the side.

• Liam Plunkett

Seam bowler Liam Plunkett has played seven matches in this year's tournament, taking 11 wickets, including three in the final.

The 34-year-old right-hander was born in Middlesbrough and made his Test debut back in 2005, but hasn't been used in that format since 2014.

His one-day international career also began in 2005 and his best bowling figures for this tournament are 3-55 against India.

• Jos Buttler

Wicketkeeper Buttler scored 59 runs in the final - bringing him to 312 runs for the tournament.

Nicknamed Jose, the 28-year-old England vice-captain plays county cricket for Lancashire and at one point held the record for scoring England's three fastest one-day hundreds.

A specialist in limited-overs games, the Somerset-born player he is also part of the Test squad, having made his debut in 2014.

• Moeen Ali

The all-rounder, 32, has played in five of England's 10 matches, scoring 75 runs and taking five wickets - including 3-50 against Pakistan.

Born in Birmingham into a Muslim family of Pakistani heritage, he made his Test and ODI debuts in 2014. He now plays for Worcestershire.

His distinctive facial hair often sees him affectionately referred to as "the beard that's feared".

A referee banned him from wearing "Save Gaza" and "Free Palestine" wristbands during a Test against India in 2014, despite England giving him permission.

• Adil Rashid

Leg spinner Rashid has taken 11 wickets so far in the World Cup, including 3-54 from 10 overs in the semi-final.

He bowled eight overs in the final, but took no wickets from the plucky Kiwis.

Born in Bradford to a family from Pakistan, the 31-year-old got into the sport early.

He was helped by his cricket-mad father, Abdul, who gave up part of his job and turned their basement into a cricket net for him and his brothers.

At just 13, he took all the wickets in an adult match for Bradford and debuted for the England one-day side in 2009.

Rashid plays for his home county, Yorkshire.

• James Vince

Batsman Vince has so far been only a bit-part player in his first World Cup, scoring 40 runs - 26 against Afghanistan and 14 against Sri Lanka.

The Sussex-born player is the current captain of Hampshire.

• Tom Curran

All-rounder Tom Curran is in the World Cup squad but so far the South African-born player has yet to start.

• Liam Dawson

The Hampshire cricketer is another member of the squad who has not played.
