Pakistan suffered a 3-0 Test series whitewash at the hands of England after losing the third and final game by eight wickets. Chasing a 130-run target in the final innings of the third game at Edgbaston, Birmingham, the Three Lions faced some early jitters as Mohammad Abbas breathed fire with the ball. He struck twice in the very first over to send England openers Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay back to the hut. Later in the innings, Abbas could have got the wicket of Joe Root as well, but a fielding blunder from Pakistan saw the opportunity go begging.
England Secures Victory in Third Test Against Pakistan
In a thrilling conclusion to the third cricket Test, England successfully chased down a target of 130 runs. After a dramatic start, where Pakistan’s Mohammad Abbas reduced England to 2 for 2 in the first over, the hosts found stability through captain Joe Root, who scored 62 not out, and Jordan Cox, who contributed 59 not out. Their partnership was crucial in leading England to victory on Saturday, following a resilient effort from Pakistan’s No. 9 batter Razaullah Khan, whose six-hitting had extended the match to a fourth day.
