ADIL RASHID feels England are in a good place ahead of their T20 World Cup defence after a seven-wicket win over Pakistan at the Oval secured a 2-0 victory in the rain-affected T20 international series.

England’s preparations for the tournament in the Caribbean, which they begin on Tuesday against Scotland, had been affected by washouts in Leeds and Cardiff.

Jofra Archer had marked his eagerly-anticipated international comeback in between those abandonments with a two-wicket display in a 23-run victory at Edgbaston and was joined in the line-up by Mark Wood in south London.
