England salvaged some pride by winning the fourth one-day international on Friday and now Andrew Strauss and co will be chasing victory in the final match of the series on Sunday, a win that would give them an unlikely 2-2 draw.

The final match is at Edgbaston, where England have won 14 of the 24 one-day internationals to have been played there.

Pakistan still have the advantage but England have a little momentum on their side and with the World Cup not that far away, Andrew Strauss's side will be looking to end the series on a high by winning the final match of the series.

Bet365 make England the outsiders at 11/8 (2.37) while Pakistan are 8/15 (1.53) to win it and clinch the series 3-1.

There is a chance that Pakistan are getting a bit tired and dreaming of getting home and England should win this one, if they play to their potential.
