  "summary": "The Wallaroos gave England a scare in Salford but ultimately failed to capitalize on their momentum. England, the world champions, secured a convincing victory despite being challenged by the Australians at halftime.\n\nIn a separate match, England also won the third Test against Pakistan by eight wickets, completing a 3-0 series sweep. According to the Dawn, Pakistan had faced a major collapse, with openers Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay being dismissed in the first over. However, Joe Root, England's record run-scorer, played a crucial role in securing the win.\n\nEngland chased a target of 130 to win, with Root scoring 62 not out and Jordan Cox 59 not out. The team's victory was marked by a nervy start, but they managed to overcome the challenges posed by Pakistan. The BBC News reported that England survived an \"almighty scare\" to win the third Test and complete the clean sweep.",
