England's drawn series with Pakistan leaves both teams' rankings unchanged in The Cricketer's Test ratings. A close series was predictable according to the ratings and so it proved, with England staying at the head of the pack behind top two Australia and South Africa.

Shaun Pollock's side remain at the top of the one-day table despite dropping four points after losing two of their seven games against lowly West Indies. England began the NatWest Series 16 points behind Pakistan and 30 adrift of Australia.
