DOUBLE QUICK

Pace aces Archer and Wood set up brisk win

- RORY DOLLARD

ENGLAND needed just 19 balls to knock off a measly target of 48 to keep their T20 World Cup dream alive.

Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Adil Rashid ran through Oman with ease, knocking their unfancied opponents over for just 47 to help Jos Buttler’s side get the job done in no time.

Seeking a heavy win to bolster their net run-rate and help them overtake Scotland in the race for the Super 8s, the defending champions made light work of the Arab nation in Antigua.

It moves England’s tournament runrate to 3.08, compared to the Scots’ 2.16, but they have two points more.

Buttler saw his side take all 10 wickets in a hasty 13.2 overs, with legspinner Rashid claiming 4-11, while pace pair Wood and Archer each took 3-12.
