There was little action on the final day but James Anderson's 600th wicket was a highlight that will be remembered for a long time to come. Pakistan put a defiant display in the second innings, losing only 4 wickets in 83.1 overs. However, constant rain interupptions played its part in helping the visitors escape with a draw in the second Test. However, England won the three-match series 1-0.

On James Anderson
Deepu Narayanan: As expected, rain has delayed the start of play on Day 5 MILESTONE ALERT: Lest we forget, James Anderson is on 599 Test wickets, one shy of becoming the first fast bowler in the history to breach the 600-club BUILD UP Hello and welcome to the final day of the third Test between England and Pakistan. The hosts have thoroughly dominated through the entire course of the match. However, with only 56 overs possible on the penultimate day and some defiant batting by the Pakistanis, England are still left needing eight wickets on the final day, with more rain and bad light expected to play a part. Pakistan are still running in with a deficit of 210 runs, but still have Azhar Ali in the middle, who after scoring 170 runs in the Test so far is yet to be dismissed.
