England have dropped to sixth in the world Test rankings and now hold their lowest points total for 27 years.

Their points rating of 88, a calculation of their points scored divided by matches played across a time period, is their lowest since 1995.

England, who have won only one of their past 17 Tests and are winless in nine, have dropped a place below Pakistan.

Australia are top of the annually-updated rankings followed by India, New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan.
