• Morgan hits unbeaten 57 as Archer presses World Cup claims
This was not the most significant cricket match ever played, even in Cardiff, which may explain some of the empty seats: a T20 contest in a World Cup year makes little sense except that contracts have to be fulfilled. But there are always scraps of insight on offer no matter what the duration of the game. And a victory against the top-ranked T20 side in the world, Pakistan, is not be sniffed at, especially since England were missing so many regulars.
Guided by Eoin Morgan, who struck 57 from 29 balls, they won by seven wickets with four balls to spare on a chilly, sunny evening. It was too early for him to get over-excited afterwards. “It was a solid performance, a cagey affair and we played OK,” he said.
