London: Pakistan can share a series with an Ashes contender for the second time this year when they meet England in the final Test at Lord's in London starting on Thursday.
The Pakistanis drew with Australia 1-1 in England this season and will square the four-Test series with England 2-2 if they win at Lord's. They defeated England by four wickets at the Oval last Saturday.
England play their last Test before starting their Ashes defence in Brisbane on November 25. New Zealanders Billy Bowden and Tony Hill will become the first neutral umpires from the same country to officiate together in a Test match at Lord's.
