Couldn’t believe they didn’t play the last 3 overs both teams happy with a draw!

Probably a few too many runs for Pakistan to chase in 18 balls and with 1 wicket left, and NZ probably felt it wasn't worth the risk of losing either. Shame. England would have gone for it, and it's a shame neither team did considering it was for the series too.

The south African T20 is on sky mix, who is the commentator that has a split Yorkie and south African accent, it's ridiculous! Lots of the England boys are playing as well.

Great to see Jofra back

Be good if he could give us another year like 2019..... apart from winning the Ashes this time.

Would love to see him at the top of his game next time we go down under.

Archer looked good let’s hope that’s it with injures

I fear he will be lost to test Cricket and just play 20/20 and ODI from now on, I hope am wrong on this because going to places like Australia in the ashes you need 90mph bowlers

When England had Archer and Wood fit for Test matches the attack looked as good as any in world cricket. Lightening pace always gives you a fighting chance.

Yeah can see that but he will want to play in the ashes he stays fit for those test matches we should beat them.

Not sure about from now on, if he is fit, he will be involved this summer. But given how little he has played in the last 3 years that tour down under looks a long way off. Would love to see it though.

I see Olly Stone is back for the NZ tour maybe Stokes and McCullum could work some more miracles!
