Don't miss a ball as England take on Pakistan in the fourth and final Test, live on Sky Sports.

Alastair Cook's side took a 2-1 lead in the four-match Test series in the third encounter after producing a fine bowling performance to dismiss Pakistan for 201 and seal a 141-run win at Edgbaston.

Pakistan had won the first Test at Lord's by 75 runs - Yasir Shah taking a 10-wicket haul - but England hit back in style at Emirates Old Trafford, with Joe Root's career-best 254 helping them to a 330-run triumph.

Having followed up that form in Birmingham, Alastair Cook's men know that should they avoid defeat at The Oval in the final game, they will hold all nine Test trophies. Here is how you can follow that match:
