ENG vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction (3rd Test), Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Cricket Match - August 21st, 2020

The third and final Test between England and Pakistan starts this Friday at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

The previous Test saw only 134.3 overs being bowled with inclement weather playing spoilsport, meaning that the series still hangs in the balance.

Although England hold a slender lead walking into this fixture, they will be wary of Pakistan, who boast a dependable bowling unit and one of the best batsmen in Babar Azam.

Despite the absence of Ben Stokes, England will fancy their chances of yet another series win while Pakistan look to hit back with a sucker punch come Friday.

With all to play for in this match, another entertaining game of Test cricket beckons at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

Pitch Report

The weather forecast for this game is slightly better, although the revision of start times should account for possible rainfall.

As seen in the previous Test, there is a lot of swing on offer for the pacers with the overcast conditions also playing into their hands.

The spinners should also come into play as the game progresses with batsmen having to grind it out in the middle.

Both sides will look to bat first on winning the toss with the bowlers expected to rule the roost in the second half of the Test.
