Schedule updated to include the upcoming Australia white-ball tour.

Poor weather again today to say the least. It's forecast to brighten up around 4. Can't see there being enough time for a result and the only possible reason for them not to call it off now would be the possibility of a small time slot for Anderson to get his 600th wicket.

Jimmy gets his 600th. I'm glad he managed it today, it's always better on home soil and it would have been galling to wait until midwinter or beyond.

[Lord Snooty]

Just got in and can't believe how sunny it is in Southampton.

Good old Jimmy. Never doubted him.

Somehow don't thnk Sibley will get 600 test wickets

Third Test, Ageas Bowl, Southampton (day five of five)
England 583-8 dec (154.4 overs): Crawley 267, Buttler 152
Pakistan 273 & 187-4: Babar 63*
Match drawn, England win series 1-0
Scorecard
England had to settle for a draw in the final Test against Pakistan on the day James Anderson became the first fast bowler to reach 600 Test wickets.

Torrential rain prevented any play until 16:15 BST at the Ageas Bowl, all but ensuring the draw that left England with a 1-0 series win.

There was still the opportunity for Anderson's moment of history, which came from his 14th delivery of the day when he had Azhar Ali caught by Joe Root at first slip.

Root himself also had Asad Shafiq held at short leg, Pakistan closing on 187-4 following-on in their second innings, 123 runs behind.

The players shook hands just after the last hour began, confirming the second successive weather-affected draw in Southampton.

England still record their first series victory over Pakistan in 10 years, but remain third in the World Test Championship behind India and Australia.

Even if that new competition overcomes the obstacles of the coronavirus pandemic, England face a huge battle to reach the final.

In the meantime, the bio-secure summer continues when an entirely different England squad takes on Pakistan in a three-match Twenty20 series in Manchester, beginning on Friday.

Great Friday night last-ball thriller to kick off the Australia T20s. Not sure how the jailbirds managed to throw it away, but fantastic entertainment all the same.

[Lord Snooty]

Brilliant bowling for the England boys. Aussies cruising. But now their losing.

One more wicket to win.

What a win.

Recorded it because of the Albion match, just finished watching over a few late pints. Magic! Low-scoring white-ball games are always the best.
