Rain Washes Out T20 Thriller Between England and Pakistan

England's T20 match against Pakistan was abandoned due to rain at Headingley, leaving bowler Jofra Archer waiting to prove his fitness. The four-match series serves as preparation for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and US. The series continues on Saturday at Edgbaston.

England's T20 match against Pakistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain at Headingley.

The teams are using the four-match series as a warmup to the T20 World Cup taking place next month in the West Indies and United States. England is the defending champion.

The abandonment on Wednesday was unfortunate for England fast bowler Jofra Archer, who needs game time to prove his fitness after a long injury layoff.

The series continues at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday before games next week in Cardiff and at the Oval in London.

England opens its T20 World Cup campaign against Scotland on June 4, while Pakistan begins against the United States on June 6.
