England concluded their Test series against Pakistan with a decisive 3-0 sweep following an eight-wicket victory in the third match at Edgbaston. The hosts faced an early challenge after slipping to 2-2 during their pursuit of a 130-run target. However, a partnership between captain Joe Root and Jordan Cox stabilized the innings, allowing England to reach the required total comfortably.

The match saw England overcome a precarious start to maintain their dominance throughout the series. While the final margin of victory was eight wickets, the early loss of two quick wickets provided a brief moment of tension for the home side. Root and Cox’s composure ensured that the team avoided a potential upset, ultimately securing the clean sweep. The result marks a strong performance for England, who controlled the series from the outset, leaving Pakistan unable to secure a win in any of the three encounters.
