Pakistan lost two points but remained on the fourth place in the latest LG-ICC Test Championship table after it drew the two-Test series in West Indies.

Pakistan is now level on 100 points with Sri Lanka and South Africa and is considered ahead of them only when the ratings are recalculated to three decimal places, according to an ICC release.

On the other hand, the home draw helped the eighth placed West Indies by two points without any change in its position.

They are now 22 points adrift of their nearest rival New Zealand.

In the individual standings, Brian Lara retained the top spot in batting following a century while Marcus Trescothick also rode on his brilliant century in the second Test against Bangladesh to comeback into the top ten at the expense of Andrew Strauss, who drops to 15th.

In the bowlers' chart, Corey Collymore was the major mover, climbing 14 places, to be 27th, a career high for the pace bowler.

Meanwhile, England's comprehensive defeat of Bangladesh improved its rating by one point to 111. It remains Australia's closest rival and if it can win the Ashes 5-0 it will claim top spot in the official Test table.
