Eng vs Pak: Hosts to Finish off the Series with a Win

England dominated the third investec test match and beat Pakistan by 141 runs to hand them their second consecutive test defeat of the tour. The hosts now lead the series 2-1, which means that with just one more match to play, the visitors from here can only draw the series level at best. The two teams will head to the Kennington Oval in London which will be the setting for the fourth and the final test match to be played from August 11. Live action is scheduled to begin at 11 AM local time.

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for England vs Pakistan 4th Test...  

Venue and Toss

481, 148, 492, 385 and 591 are the first-innings scores of the last five tests at the Kennington Oval. Leaving aside the 148, the rest are all big totals and the teams scoring close to 500 here have mostly gone on to win. So another good batting surface can be expected on Thursday.

In the last 13 tests at this ground, the team batting second have won six times while the team batting first have won four times. With the pitch likely to remain good for batting till the third day, the team that wins the toss might prefer to field first and have a crack at the opposition.

It should be game on if Pakistan win the toss and bowl England out for under 350. Otherwise, a 3-1 series defeat for the visitors is quite inevitable.

If ENG Bat First

Predicted Score: Around 450

After five consecutive poor knocks in the series, Alex Hales finally hit a fifty in the second innings of the last test. But his unpredictable performance in cricket's longest format means that Cook and Root are still going to be the key for England at the top. While Cook has scored the most runs against Pakistan in test cricket, Root is currently the leading run-scorer in the series with 447 runs and he is most likely to finish as the top-scorer.

England's opening pair will probably face Mohammad Amir and Sohail Khan, the two most threatening bowlers in the Pakistani pace attack. Sohail Khan was the pick of the lot in the last match with a five-for in the first innings and two big wickets in the second. Yasir Shah has taken the most wickets for his side in the series and he is going to be Pakistan's main weapon when it comes to spin. If England lose Cook and Root early, they may not be able to reach the predicted score.

If PAK Bat First

Predicted Score: Around 350

One of their major issues with the bat is that Mohammad Hafeez hasn't got going at all and Pakistan badly need a good innings from him. Azhar Ali with a first-innings century and Sami Aslam with fifties in both the innings were the most impressive of all the Pakistani batsmen in the third test. Misbah-ul-Haq is leading from the front, scoring the maximum runs for the team, and he is unarguably the best man in their middle order. So Aslam, Ali and Misbah are the ones that can take Pakistan to 350 and beyond.

They will have to be very careful against Anderson, Broad and Woakes who all have been among the wickets. The trio will be England's best bet to throw Pakistan's batting off the track with some quick wickets. Woakes has been exceptional with 23 wickets so far and he is likely to finish the series as the highest wicket-taker. Pakistan's inability to handle reverse swing led to their downfall in the last test and if it happens again, they could fold below 250.

Eng vs Pak Head-to-Head Record

Pakistan have now played 50 tests in England against the hosts, winning only 10 of these and losing 22 with 18 resulting in draw. Prior to this series, the two teams have played 13 test series with each other in England with the visitors emerging winners in only three of them. Pakistan, however, have happy memories at the Kennington Oval. They have four wins in the nine tests here with two games being drawn - a win percentage of nearly 50.

Our Prediction

Pakistan did almost everything right in the first half of the third test, bowling England out for less than 300 and then acquiring a solid lead of 103. But they lost their way in the latter half of the match with the batsmen having no answers to the reverse swingers thrown at them by the English pacemen. England's second big victory over Pakistan can lead many to wonder whether their loss in the first test was just a blip.

There is no doubt that Pakistan have performed above everyone's expectations on this tour and it won't be fair to write them off given their decent record at the Kennington Oval. But England have been just too good at home in recent years which makes us confident in deeming them favorites to win the final test and hence the series.
