England complete 3-0 Test whitewash over Pakistan despite Razaullah debut heroics
–
Neutral summary
England sealed a 3-0 Test series whitewash over Pakistan with an eight-wicket victory in the third Test at Edgbaston. The hosts survived a dramatic opening-over collapse on the final day, losing two wickets, before captain Joe Root — reprieved after a no-ball was detected — and Jordan Cox guided the team home with an unbeaten 128-run stand. Pakistan, who slumped to the bottom of the World Test Championship standings, were urged by captain Babar Azam to “sit down and admit our mistakes.” The visitors' fightback in the final Test was highlighted by 21-year-old debutant Razaullah Khan, whose six-hitting display from Mardan helped Pakistan avoid a two-day defeat and take a second-innings lead.
