Annoying. Ultimately I'm not sure any team in the world could cope with the loss of lads like Stokes and Roy. Still had plenty of firepower but those are two are proper match winners. Ah well.

[Buzzo]

2019 must have been pretty motivating for NZ today. No Stokes or Archer is a massive difference.

[Shaggy]

Forgot about Archer

[Yozza]

Jeez talk about screwing the pooch

By the time I'd left work to pick up my daughter & get home we'd thrown it away

Atrocious bowling....

Fair play to NZ - as it's being said this morning if we were going to lose to anyone it was best to lose to them especially after 2019

Pakistan finish on 176-4

Don't think it'll be enough... have Pakistan left too many runs in the dressing room like England did?

some real clean hitting there by Matty Wade. 6,6,6 in a row to finish it

Unbelievable

T20 World Cup: New Zealand's Devon Conway out of final after breaking hand punching bat

Of all the ways to be ruled out of a World Cup final...

New Zealand's Devon Conway will miss Sunday's showpiece against Australia at the T20 World Cup after breaking his hand punching his own bat.

He picked up the injury when hitting his bat in frustration after being dismissed in the Black Caps' semi-final win over England on Wednesday.

Scans have revealed the 30-year-old broke his fifth metacarpal in his right hand.

Wade's three consecutive sixes see Australia beat Pakistan in thriller
"He's absolutely gutted to be ruled out like this at this time," coach Gary Stead said.

"It looked a pretty innocuous reactionary incident on the field, but the blow obviously caught the bat between the glove padding and while it's not the smartest thing he's done there's certainly an element of bad luck in the injury."

Conway, who has also kept wicket in New Zealand's last five games, was stumped off Liam Livingstone's bowling for 46 - at which point his side needed 72 from 38 balls.

He has scored 129 runs in six innings at an average of 32.25 throughout the tournament.

He will also miss New Zealand's highly-anticipated Test series in India, which starts on 25 November.

Been watching Rafiq speak at the Select Committee, and dear God it's pretty abject stuff. Horrifying tbh.

Rotten to the core.
