England vs Pakistan 1st T20I Highlights: Due to persistent rain, the first T20I between England and Pakistan at Headingley on Wednesday was abandoned without a bowl being bowled. The match was supposed to set the stage for reigning champions England’s defense of the T20 World Cup title in the Caribbean and the United States next month. However, heavy rain in Leeds led referees to call off the match about an hour before the scheduled kick-off at 1730 GMT. England’s four-match series against Pakistan, which they won in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup in Melbourne, now continues at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium on Saturday before taking on Cardiff at the Oval next week.
