England Overcomes Early Scare to Win 3rd Cricket Test Against Pakistan and Sweep Series
Joe Root and Jordan Cox made unbeaten half-centuries as England overcame an early wobble to seal a 3-0 series sweep.
- On Saturday, England defeated Pakistan by eight wickets at Edgbaston, completing a 3-0 series sweep. The hosts successfully chased a target of 130 on the fourth day to seal the dominant victory.
- Pakistan managed 449 in their second innings after being dismissed for 133 in their first. Debutant Razaullah spearheaded the recovery with 81 runs, sharing a 121-run ninth-wicket partnership with Mohammad Abbas.
- England's chase began precariously as openers Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay fell to Mohammad Abbas in the first over. Joe Root and Jordan Cox scored unbeaten half-centuries to guide the home side to victory in the 25th over.
- This 3-0 whitewash provides vital relief for England, who faced turmoil weeks ago following a series loss to New Zealand and the exits of head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.
- Tougher challenges await England, starting with a Test series in South Africa in December and January. A home Ashes series looms next year as the team seeks to maintain this momentum.
