England secured a commanding 3-0 series victory over Pakistan by winning the third Test by eight wickets.
Despite a challenging situation where England needed 130 runs, debutant bowler Razaullah's impactful hitting put them under pressure. The chase began disastrously, with England reduced to 2-2 in the opening over.
However, a resilient partnership of 128 runs between Joe Root, who finished on 62 not out, and Jordan Cox, who scored 59, guided England to the win just before lunch. This victory concludes a challenging summer for the team on a positive note.
England will now shift focus to a white-ball series against Sri Lanka, commencing in Southampton on Tuesday.
