You are very right my friend, but if Pakistan will be at no. 5 for instance and they beat England, who will be no.2 at that time too, then Pakistan will gain many extra points due to position differnce. ICC ranking system keeps into account the position of your oppenent too.

When Pakistan vs India test series was drawn, Pak gained points while India lost (since India was a rank above Pak).

Again in Pak vs WI, series was a draw again but Pak lost point and WI gained points. (since Pak was above WI)

Now Pak will gain many extra point and will definitely come to at least no. 3 if they will beat England in test series. (As England will be at no.2 and Pak at no.5 as you say)

Let see how many points england lose in Ashes. I hope they don’t
