138 years later, England-Pakistan series creates rare Test cricket feat
England's batting was led by Joe Root, who remained unbeaten on 62 in the third Test, while Jordan Cox scored an unbeaten 59 as England chased down 130 with eight wickets in hand. The result gave England their second 3-0 Test series clean sweep over Pakistan, after their success in the 2022/23 series. It was also England's 15th three-match Test series sweep overall.
England secured a 3-0 Test series sweep over Pakistan at Edgbaston, a rare feat as it was only the eighth time in history a three-match series concluded without a single individual century. The series marked England's second such clean sweep over Pakistan, following their success in the 2022/23 series, and their 15th overall three-match Test series sweep.
For England, Joe Root led the batting, remaining unbeaten on 62 in the third Test, while Jordan Cox contributed with an unbeaten 59, helping England chase down 130 with eight wickets in hand. Pakistan's best moment came from debutant Razaullah, who scored an exciting 81 off 63 balls, but it was not enough to change the outcome of the series.
Despite Pakistan's fight in the third Test after conceding a significant 320-run first-innings lead, England's dominance in the first two Tests had already tilted the series in their favor. England's fast bowlers, led by Ollie Robinson with 21 wickets, were the key difference between the two sides.
