No-ball Saves Root, England 35-2 at Edgbaston

England’s third and final Test at Edgbaston was jolted when captain Joe Root was bowled for 23 by Pakistan’s Mohammed Ali, only to have the dismissal overturned after the ball was ruled a no‑ball. The decision kept Root on the field and England’s score at 35‑2, still chasing 130 runs to secure victory.

The no‑ball, delivered with a foot fault, nullified Root’s wicket and left the hosts in a more favourable position, as they now face a reduced target with two wickets in hand. England’s batting lineup will need to build on this reprieve, while Pakistan’s bowlers must tighten up to prevent the hosts from reaching the required runs.

With the scoreline unchanged, England remains in the hunt for a series‑winning victory, while Pakistan will look to capitalize on the setback to level the contest before the final day.
