* 16:00 IST: Weather updates -- Good News! The rain has stopped. As per forecast, the worst is over. But the groundstaff will need a good amount of time to make the ground match ready. It was raining for quite some time.
* It's official! The start of the fifth day of the third and final Test between England and Pakistan at the Rose Bowl was delayed after heavy morning rain on Tuesday.
Pakistan were set to resume their second innings on 100 for two, having been forced to follow on when they were bowled out for 273 on Monday. They still trail by 210 runs after England’s massive 583 for eight declared. The sun is forecast to come out in the afternoon to dry the sodden outfield. England’s James Anderson is seeking to become the first seam bowler in history to reach 600 Test wickets. He has taken six wickets in the match to leave him within one of the milestone. England lead the three-Test series 1-0.
* Weather Updates: Not a good news to start with, it's raining in Southampton. It's not heavy but it will surely delay the start of the fifth and final day of the third Test between England and Pakistan today.
Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of Day 5 of the third and final Test match at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.RECAP, DAY 4:England bowler James Anderson moved one shy of 600 Test wickets as he struck late on a frustrating and mainly forgettable fourth day.
The 38-year-old, looking to become the first pace bowler to reach that landmark, had opener Abid Ali lbw for a painstaking 42 late on in a weather-shortened day at Southampton.
Pakistan, who followed on after being bowled out for 273 in reply to England's first innings 583-8 declared, ended the day on 100-2, still requiring 210 runs to make England bat again.
England are looking to wrap up a 2-0 series win although Tuesday's weather forecast is for heavy rain.
Pakistan began the day having not started their second innings and crept along to 41 without loss before rain forced the players off for an early lunch.
With England looking flat, both Pakistan openers looked comfortable although Anderson was denied a wicket in his third over of the day when Shan Masood edged behind but Jos Buttler failed to pouch what looked like a routine catch.
When play resumed some three hours later after groundstaff mopped up the pitch, it was Anderson's partner in crime Stuart Broad who made the initial breakthrough, nipping one back to Masood who was out lbw for 18 not playing a shot.
Despite the lack of runs it was the longest opening stand against England since June 2016, spanning 23.4 overs.
Spinner Dom Bess whirled away without success in a soporific afternoon session as Ali edged towards a half century.
But with the old ball finally beginning to swing, Anderson then pinned him in front of his stumps and umpire Michael Gough raised his finger. Pakistan reviewed but the ball was shown to be just clipping leg stump.
Anderson only managed one more over, however, before bad light and rain ended the day's play with Pakistan's captain Azhar Ali, a centurion in the first innings, on 29.
Anderson will hope that the weather forecast for Tuesday improves so that he gets the chance to reach another milestone.
Already England's leading Test wicket taker, Anderson is behind only spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (800) of Sri Lanka, Australia's Shane Warne (708) and India's Anil Kumble (619).
