England win third Test by eight wickets to complete 3-0 series sweep of Pakistan
England secured a three‑wicket victory in the third Test against Pakistan, completing a 3‑0 series sweep despite an early scare that threatened to derail their campaign. The win, achieved by eight wickets, marked the final match of a clean‑sweep in a series that had seen England dominate from the outset.
Pakistan began the match strongly, posting a competitive first‑innings total that put England under pressure as early wickets fell. However, a resilient middle order partnership steadied the English chase, and a decisive batting performance in the fourth innings propelled the team past the target with eight wickets remaining. Key contributions came from the top order, while the bowlers restricted Pakistan’s second‑innings lead, ensuring a comfortable finish.
The series whitewash reinforces England’s position in the Test rankings and provides momentum ahead of their forthcoming fixtures. Pakistan, while disappointed by the outcome, will look to regroup and address the shortcomings exposed during the three‑match encounter.
