EDGBASTON — England overcame an early scare on the fourth day of this final Test against Pakistan to complete a 3-0 series whitewash with an eight-wicket win in Birmingham.
Captain Joe Root and Jordan Cox led the way with unbeaten half-centuries as the hosts chased down 130 in 24.2 overs.
It came after England were reduced to two for two in the first over of the chase, after Mohammad Abbas removed openers Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay for ducks.
Root’s men were set a target rather more challenging than they would have been hoping for after Pakistan debutant Razaullah Khan’s 81 off 63 balls the previous evening during an innings where the 21-year-old fast bowler hit nine sixes.

— England Cricket (@englandcricket) September 12, 2026There had previously been seven targets of 130 or less successfully defended in Tests in this country, most recently England defending 124 during the 1997 Ashes when they bowled out Australia for 104 at The Oval.
But the chance of a famous Pakistan win evaporated after Mohammad Ali gave Root a let-off on 23 when he bowled England’s captain off a no-ball. Had the delivery been legal, the hosts would have been 35 for three.
As it was, Root and Cox put on an unbeaten stand of 128 to see their team home before lunch.
Ben Duckett – 0
44 runs @ 8.80
Has had a stinker, with scores of 15, 17, 1, 11 and 0. Dropped catches at Edgbaston too. Plenty of credit in the bank so place not in danger – yet.
Emilio Gay – 4
132 runs @ 26.40
First-innings 60 in final Test welcome after difficult series. Duck during the chase less so. Should be retained for this winter’s South Africa tour.
Jordan Cox – 8
202 runs @ 50.50
Hit match-defining half-centuries in all three Tests from No 3. Looks the real deal and will be vying for a place in the XI this winter.
Joe Root – 6
164 runs @ 41
Bookended series with 66 in first Test and unbeaten 62 in the Birmingham chase. Captained well other than third day at Edgbaston when he lost plot in face of Razaullah’s blitz.
Harry Brook – 7
215 runs @ 53.75
Scores of 91 at Headingley and 75 at Edgbaston set up big wins. No century but a fine effort in a series dominated by bowlers.
Dan Lawrence – 7
187 runs @ 46.75
Three half-centuries from No 6 after two years out of the team. Has surely rubber-stamped his place for the winter.

162 runs @ 40.50
Kept exceptionally well, especially standing up to the stumps, and looked close to his best with bat when finishing final Test with flamboyant 69.
Gus Atkinson – 5
4 wickets @ 66.25
Played his part in the four-man attack that terrorised Pakistan, keeping things tight and applying pressure even though his figures suggest otherwise.
Ollie Robinson – 10
21 wickets @ 8.76
What a comeback summer. The Sussex seamer took 28 wickets at 9.32. Reached 100 Test wickets at Edgbaston with the lowest average of any bowler since the First World War.
Jofra Archer – 7
12 wickets @ 26.66
Back to his best, bowling with pace, accuracy and venom. Hit 94 miles per hour at Lord’s and primed for a big winter – if he stays fit.
Josh Tongue – 8
19 wickets @ 16.31
Has cemented his place in the team and now looks undroppable. Quick and hostile, Tongue has improved over the summer.
