England claimed a historic victory over Pakistan in the third Test, as the hosts posted a strong position of 156-4 after Pakistan's collapse. Pakistan, already 2-0 down in the three-match series, managed only 133 after losing all their top five batsmen in the first innings. England's captain, Joe Root, chose to field in the overcast conditions at Edgbaston.
Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer's new-ball pair demolished Pakistan with figures of 3-15 and 3-25 respectively. Josh Tongue's early wickets added to the pressure, including Pakistan's captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Razaullah, who made his debut with two wickets. Emilio Gay and Harry Brook's partnership of 104 helped England reach stumps on 156-4, a lead of 23 runs.
