England overcome an early scare in the third Test against Pakistan to win the match and complete a series whitewash, taking the contest 3-0. Joe Root acknowledges that England briefly fell into disarray before he returned as captain, describing a period of “chaos.”
Both outlets report that Root frames the result as a sign that England have put that start behind them. The ABC Australia report focuses on Root’s assessment that the team is “back on track” after the series win, while Japan Today emphasizes his admission about England’s earlier instability during the match. While the outlets differ in how they characterize the timing and nature of England’s struggles, they agree on the outcome: England win the third Test and finish the Pakistan series with a clean sweep.
