As far as the situation concerns, Pakistan has drawn or should I rephrase myself it was the weather which won, because of which Pakistan got the benefit and earned extra points as it was able to draw the game against England.
Hence
Winning the third test isn't going to benefit Pakistan as much as it would benefit England as winning the third test match would place them on second to the Numero-Uno, furthermore Runs-Per-Wicket-Ratio of England team which is the number of runs scored per wicket lost, divided by the number of runs conceded per wicket taken, which has been gradually on the downgrading pattern/trend.
Pros
Ranking
If Pakistan able to win the third test match which is unlikely but hypothetically speaking, if it did, Pakistan is going to jump to 193 points which is going to place NZ below Pakistan.
The Goldilocks Zone
Currently Pakistan is on the Goldilocks Zone, which is again a hypothetical line where usually in astronomical manner, is the thin line where the temperature is neither warm so that water turns to vapors, and likewise either cold so that water turns to ICE-7, this is usually thin permalink where situation is good for revamping, hence in the conditions of above definition, Pakistan is in the Goldilocks Zone, as if you go through the ranking, teams above Pakistan are some of he top teams in the tier and likewise teams below Pakistan looks bleak but likewise dark-horses of the cricketing world.
Cons
A Championship without league
Unlike the Asian Test Championship where all the participating teams played each other on the basis of home-and-away terms, this championship voids such scenario as every team is only allows to play 6 series' which is unjust for a league based championship.
Revamp in Test Match Cricket Rules just for this championship
Just like different cricket boards have been busy in incorporating different rules-and-regulations for spicing up the cricket (read "The Hundred"), then how come the ICC voids such sanity? As this Championship voids mince of sanity.
