Series decider at Edgbaston — What's at stake for both teams

England head into the third Test at Edgbaston with the series already secured. They lead 2-0 after winning the first Test by an innings and 103 runs and the second Test at Lord's by 194 runs. With the series won, England can use the final Test to manage workloads and give opportunities to players ahead of a busy winter schedule.

Pakistan, meanwhile, have made several major changes after their poor performances in the first two Tests. Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha and several other players have been released from the squad, while head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul have also been removed from their roles. Mike Hesson will take interim charge and wants Pakistan to bring more variety and balance to their bowling attack.

England are expected to make one change, with Brydon Carse left out and Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson leading the pace attack. Pakistan will have Babar Azam back as captain and could also hand opportunities to several young players. The probable XIs for the third Test are:

England: Ben Duckett, Emilio Gay, Jordan Cox, Joe Root (c), Harry Brook, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith (wk), Gus Atkinson, Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir.

Pakistan: Azan Awais, Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Saud Shakeel, Saad Baig (wk), Mohammad Imran Randhawa, Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Abbas, Ubaid Shah.
