England are primed to wrap up their first Test series win in 20 months against Pakistan, with a slightly better weather forecast than yesterday's at Lord's. The hosts lead by 357 runs, and captain Joe Root may have been pondering an overnight declaration.
Lawrence impresses in difficult conditions
If Root does call his batters in, it will be a slight shame for Dan Lawrence, who batted with great authority yesterday in difficult conditions to reach his second half-century of the series. Lawrence is another player discarded under the previous regime, reasserting himself in the new era.
Weather outlook and start time
According to the weather forecasters, there is only a 3% chance of rain at 11am, though it does trend up a little after that. Play starts at 11am BST.
