A week ago the prospect of a meaningful decider in Rawalpindi seemed remote, but the hosts have battled their way back into this series to set one up. Pakistan vs England 3rd Test live streams started on Thursday, October 24 and the cricket is scheduled to run until Monday, October 28 — although looks unlikely to go the distance.
The Pakistan vs England Test series is airing on Sky Sports in the UK and Willow and Sling TV in the US. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on because you can watch PAK vs ENG live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Multan swung one way and then the other. England's record breaking batting exploits in the 1st Test were turned on their head by the 20 wickets taken by Sajid Khan and Noman Ali in the 2nd.
Day 1 in Rawalpindi once again belonged to the spin twins — the tourists had Jamie Smith to thank for making a respectable total on a tricky pitch; the young wicketkeeper scoring 89 of his team's 267 runs.
And while Pakistan's top order wobbled, Saud Shakeel's marvelous century and some big hitting from the tail got Pakistan 70-odd runs in front at the halfway stage. Three late wickets rocked England to leave them still 53 in arrears.
They'll now need something special from Yorkshire pair Joe Root and Harry Brook if they have any chance of a miraculous recovery and, at this stage, unlikely series win.
