That's all from this game and series! England end up winning it 1-0 and it has been a terrific Test summer for them. All credit to Pakistan, they gave a tough fight in all the Test matches. Now, we move onto the T20I series which will be played at Old Trafford Manchester. The first T20I begins on 28th August, 2020 at 1800 local (1700 GMT). Join us for that. Until then, cheers.

England skipper, Joe Root says that he is happy with the boys for their performance and for the win. On what was said to Anderson, Root says that he said to enjoy and celebrate and adds Broad says some things and compared this coldy windy Wednesday night in the Premier League. On the young players, Root says Crawley's work ethic and reading of the game has been there to see and hence he is not surprised by his performance. Adds the way he played spin, seam was fantastic. Tells they knew they had to play well to win the series. Ends by thanking everyone involved in the series.

Pakistan skipper, Azhar Ali says that he regrets the final session of the first Test but congratulates England for winning the main session of the Test and playing good cricket. Adds they were good and were competitive and credits his biys for that. Tells there is always room for improvement but credits his bys for staying together and sticking together with each other and also for showing fight in the games. On his personal form, he says that it was important for himself and also for his side as they were in trouble. Adds that an innings like that can boast the confidence of any player

Pakistan's Man of the Series, Mohammad Rizwan says that he was practicing some drills before the series and that hepled him. States that he was told by his teammates that keeping is tough in England and he tried to practice it here and that worked. Says that it is difficult to stand near the stumps to Abbas but it has been nice to play in England. Goes onto say that he looked to play a compact innings and it is difficult to play with the tail but that is the beauty of Test cricket.

Player of the Series for England, Jos Buttler says when asked about Anderson that his variety and skills makes him stand out along with his longevity and adds he is an inspiration for all the boys in the dressing room. Adds it was a shame that there was no crowd to witness it. Says he was confident and kept his calm which is important in both succeess and failure. Tells anytime he can hit one past the bowler makes him feel like it is his day. Adds it was a good pitch and he was happy to make a contribution. On Crawley and Pope, he says that thye have a good future and is excited to watch them bat. Adds Sibley and Burns also have a great future. Admits he is happy to go out of the bubble as it has been long and hard. Thanks the Pakistan side for coming to playing in these tough situations.

Man of the Match, Zak Crawley, says that he cannot believe that he has the 10th highest score by an England player and says it is a huge honour. Tells that he was happy to get off to a start and ease the nerves and says he was happy to cash in on the start and get on a big score. Tells he had a very good preparation and he was preparing for these bowlers when he was out of the side. Says Stokes coming back in the side later on was not on his mind and when he got past 100 he wanted more. Tells it has not sunk in yet but he is sure that it will give him confidence.

England enforced the follow-on but rain had started to dominate and the pitch too had started to slow down and became flat like a biscuit. The openers took their time and with some luck built a 49-run stand. Azhar Ali then joined Abid and the pair did what they had to do, eat away the balls and ensure they get closer to rain. Abid's 162 balls 42 helped them get closer. Azhar Ali and Babar Azam then ensured there were no more damage at the end of Day 4 before rain came down heavily and killed all hopes of an England win on Day 5. The final day became more of a formality and about Anderson's unbelievable milestone which he got when he got rid of the Pakistan skipper. Asad failed to make the most of the formal day and got out to another low score before both sides decided that a result was not possible. Not much to talk about England's bowling. It was hard and they tried their best. Archer and Bess bowled their hearts out but to no success. Anderson got his 599th and 600th wicket while Root and Broad finished with one to their name.

Pakistan in reply got off to a terrible start and were staring at an innings defeat with the team struggling at 75/5 but the skipper, who was under tremendous pressure gave them hope along with Rizwan. The duo stitched together a 138-run stand and ate away a lot of deliveries. Azhar stayed unbeaten on 141, though that was not enough to avoid the follow-on but it was good enough to drag the game to days which had rain forecasted. The fine-wine, Anderson was the star for the England side as he finished with yet another 5-wicket haul. His partner-in-crime, Stuart Broad finished with 2 while Woakes and Bess had one apiece.

A little recap of this rain-marred Test, after winning the toss and opting to bat, England did not get off to a good start but a marathon 267 from Zak Crawley and a superb 152 from Buttler took the game away from the Asian side. The pair added a 359-run stand and took their side out of a danger position from 127/4. The hosts declared for a gigantic total of 583/8. It was a tough job for the bowlers with Mohammad Abbas going wicketless while the trio of Yasir Shah, Shaheen Afridi and Fawad Alam getting two. Asad Shafiq and Naseem Shah bagged one each.

That is it! The players are shaking hands and that is the end of the Test match and the series. It was another day marred by rain but this day will go down in history as Jimmy Anderson became the first-ever pace bowler to get to 600 wickets. A result was always unlikely after so much of the day being washed out by rain and wet outfield. England have won the series but with another draw, Pakistan add 13 points in their World Test Championship kitty.

James Anderson to Azhar Ali, out, OUT! There it is! A mountain no pace bowler has been able to scale before, Jimmy Anderson has scaled that as well. Joins an elite list of Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble to become only the 4th player and the first pace bowler to get 600 Test wickets. What a milestone! Take a bow legend! With that mystical number, Anderson carves his name into history books and enters the Mount Rushmore of greatest ever Test bowlers. It has been a frustrating wait from wicket 598 to 600 but he has got it. Azhar Ali becomes a milestone victim for Jimmy and his expressions have changed. He is up in joy and has the ball in hand and waves it to the empty stands but all his teammates applaud. Finally Anderson gets a bit of help from the slip. Anderson bowls it in the channel of uncertainty around off, the ball bounces a bit off the surface which takes Azhar by surprise.

Welcome all! Pakistan had a good Day 4, losing only 2 wickets and now they have a realistic chance of saving this Test match. They were helped by rain as well and with the weather forecast not great for Day 5, they would hope that they are able to achieve a draw. England, on the other hand, were poor with the ball. They looked tired and they still need 8 wickets for a victory. Anderson is still short of 600 Test wickets and he would want to get it today as England will not play their next Test for a long time. Will England be able to achieve a victory or will Pakistan manage a draw?

... Day 5, Session 1 ...

So that is it from Day 4 from Southampton. Pakistan will be the happier of the two sides at the end of the day's play as they now have a realistic chance to rescue this Test match. Anderson will have to sleep 1 shy of 600 Test wickets. The predicted weather forecast is not a pleasing one for all neutral and England fans but let's hope that rain stays away. Join us on Tuesday, 25th August, 2020 at 1100 local (1000 GMT) for the all-important 5th and final day of this Test and the series. Until then, cheers and take care.

A tough day for the English bowlers. The pitch did offer a little bit of movement early on in the day but after that there were hardly any demons on it. Anderson's hard luck continued as Buttler early in the day denied him his 599th scalp. Broad did manage to break the opening stand later on. With the ball getting softer and the pitch getting easier to bat on, the hosts' bowling struggled to get the breakthroughs. The 38-year old though finally managed to get to 599 wickets later on in the day but his wait for victim number 600 goes on. Tough day for all the bowlers in a nutshell as the pace has gone off the pitch.

STUMPS ON DAY 4! A very strong fight from Pakistan and with a very strong support from rain, the hosts have given themselves a very good chance of stealing a draw from this lost cause. They have lost just 2 wickets and will enter the final day with 8 wickets in hand. Shan Masood and Abid Ali started the day with a fighting stand of 49. The former was given a lifeline early in the innings by Jos Buttler who dropped a sitter. Though Masood did not score much, he did eat away 66 balls. Abid was then joined by his skipper and the pair fought on, playing some classical Test match cricket. Abid though became Anderson's 599th Test victim. The Pakistan Test skipper, Azhar Ali and the T20I skipper, Babar Azam then ensured there was no further damage before dark clouds and bad light came to the tourists' rescue.

Update 1840 local (1740 GMT) - And to add to the misery, it has started to rain as well and that might as well be the final nail in the coffin for Day 4. We are still waiting for the official confirmation though.

Update 1832 local (1732 GMT) - The umpires get together and they check for the light. They have decided that it has gone too dark and off go the players. That will probably be Stumps. Still no confirmation yet. Stay tuned.

Update 1510 local (1410 GMT) - Great news! The umpires have completed their latest inspection and we have a start time! The action will resume at 1545 local (1445 GMT), provided there is no further rain. The groundsmen have done an exceptional job to get the ground ready. Stay tuned.

Update 1456 local (1356 GMT) - More positive news coming in as most of the covers are off and the conditions have brightened up. There is still an area of concern though near the square of the pitch. Stay tuned.

Update 1425 local (1325 GMT) - The umpires are done with their inspection and they still are not happy with the ground conditions. There is another inspection scheduled at 1500 local (1400 GMT). Stay with us.

Update 1335 local (1235 GMT) - Good news! The rain has stopped for now but the ground has taken a lot of water and it will take some time to drain. The umpires have decided to have an inspection at 1420 local (1320 GMT). Stay tuned.

Update 1310 local (1210 GMT) - The Lunch break is over but it is absolutely pelting down in Southampton. It looks like we are in for a long delay. Let's hope that it clears soon and the players get back on the field. Stay with us for further updates.

... Day 4, Session 2 ...

England, on the other hand, were not upto the mark with the ball today. They did not bowl the perfect line and length and remain wicketless so far. Anderson could have had a wicket but Buttler dropped an easy chance of Masood. With the weather forecast not great, they will need to find breakthroughs sooner rather than later. Stay with us.

Update 1230 local (1130 GMT) - Early Lunch has been taken on Day 4. 18 overs were bowled in the session before rain forced the players off. Pakistan did really well in this session, not losing any wickets and batting sensibly. They have scored runs when available and respected the good deliveries. They would hope that they continue doing the same when the game resumes.

Update 1220 local (1120 GMT) - Another day and another rain interruption as it has started to rain and a bit heavily so the players are off. Pakistan have done well so far and have managed to have all their 10 wickets intact. They won't mind this rain and they will hope that it continues. England have not been good themselves this morning. As a neutral, let's hope that we can resume quickly.
