England wins the third Test against Pakistan by eight wickets at Edgbaston to complete a 3-0 series whitewash. In a successful chase of a 130-run target, England lose Ben Duckett to the first ball of the innings and then suffer another early setback with the dismissal of opener Emilio Gay in the same over.
Joe Root takes charge after the early tremors and remains unbeaten on 62 to steer England to victory. By maintaining control during the chase, Root ensures England reach the target without further collapse, completing the series sweep.
Both outlets describe the same key sequence: early Pakistan breakthroughs during the chase, followed by Root’s unbeaten innings as England secure the win and the whitewash. The coverage focuses on Root’s role in stabilising the innings and on the decisive margin of the third Test, rather than on wider debate over tactics or selection.
