If we go through ICC World Test Championship 2019-20 standings, if Pakistan want to make improvement in their rankings, space is very limited as after this series Pakistan has got two more series' and hence keeping in mind the current form of English players, it is highly unlikely that Pakistan might take away the series 2 games to 1.
Hypothetically speaking
Minimum if Pakistan wins 1 game out of remaining 2 games, Pakistan will only get to reimburse 40 points as this is a three tests series, where a test series is comprises of 120 points hence if it is a 2 test match series, so it is 60 points per game. Furthermore even if a miracle generates and Pakistan able to clinch remaining of the games 2 games to 1, Pakistan is only able to have 220 score because of which Pakistan is going to overtake NZ and will take up the 4th position whereas England will retain its 3rd position.
Remaining game of the Bangladesh Home Series game at Karachi
This game is more important to Pakistan as Pakistan has already clinched Rawalpindi test scoring 60 points, if they win Karachi test, it is going to give a boost and will be given added 60 points which is going to raise the scored points to 280 points which is going to drop England to 4th position, and Pakistan will place itself at 3rd position, but the downside is Pakistan's remaining series tally is going to be 1 series, as one of the two series' Pakistan supposed to be playing, is against Bangladesh which is currently suspended, hence after conclusion of this series, the tally is going to be 1 series remain, hence situation is pretty bleak for Pakistan to get qualified to knockouts.
