Starts tomorrow at 0600GMT in Rawalpindi, with England playing not only for pride but also for critical rating points. They are no longer certain to avoid the qualifying rounds of the ICCCT next year, and every rating point is vital in their efforts to avoid those extra games - so, in at least that sense, this is not a dead rubber.
For England, Steve Harmison, who was absent on Monday due to "flu", is listed as doubtful. (Of course, if he appears, it will demonstrate that he didn't have flu, only a cold, but let's leave that aside.) For Pakistan, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Shaoib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami may be rested having already put the series beyond England, making way for
Yasir Hameed, Yasir Arafat and Mohammad Asif to get some experience ahead of the India v Pakistan series early next year.
