Pakistan fall back to join chasing pack in LG ICC Test Championship

Pakistan's failure to win its two match series in the West Indies means that three sides are now level on 100 points in the LG ICC Test Championship table.

Pakistan remains fourth in the official Test table but the 1-1 series draw has seen its rating fall by two points so that it is now ahead of Sri Lanka and South Africa only when the ratings are recalculated to three decimal places.

The home draw boosted West Indies' rating by two points but it is still in eighth place, 22 points adrift of its nearest rival New Zealand.

A century for Brian Lara ensured he retained top spot in the LG ICC Test batting rankings. Corey Collymore was the major mover, climbing 14 places in the LG ICC Test bowling rankings to 27th, a career high for the pace bowler.

England's comprehensive defeat of Bangladesh improved its LG ICC Test rating by one point to 111. It remains Australia's closest rival and if it can win the Ashes 5-0 it will claim top spot in the official Test table.

Marcus Trescothick has become England's top-ranked batsman in the LG ICC Test batting rankings. A century in the second Test helped Trescothick climb into the top ten at the expense of Andrew Strauss, who drops to 15th.
