England and James Anderson are being held up by the weather on the fifth day of the final Test against Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl.

The home side requires eight wickets to secure victory, with Anderson needing one of them to become the first pace bowler to reach 600 in Tests.

The rain that arrived at the end of the fourth day fell persistently overnight and the picture was bleak at the scheduled start of 11:00 BST.

Shortly after, the wet weather cleared and the ground staff were able to begin working. A pitch inspection was held at 1:40 PM, with a further one scheduled for 3:00 PM.

Following-on in their second innings, Pakistan are 100-2, 210 runs behind.
