England faced a tense start in their run chase against Pakistan, with Mohammad Abbas striking early to dismiss Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay in a stunning first over. The atmosphere at Edgbaston shifted as Pakistan’s players and supporters sensed an upset, especially after Razaullah's explosive batting performance the previous evening.

Despite a shaky beginning, England successfully chased down the target of 130 runs, clinching an eight-wicket victory and achieving their first series clean sweep in two years. Joe Root, scoring 62 not out, and Jordan Cox, who remained unbeaten on 59, guided the team to victory by 1:07 PM.

Root entered the match when England was in disarray at 2 for 2, following Duckett’s first-ball dismissal and Gay’s lbw for a duck. Partnering with Cox, Root quickly settled into his rhythm, focusing on minimizing the lbw threat. As the innings progressed, the duo steadily built the score on a pitch devoid of challenges.

Razaullah struggled to maintain momentum after his impressive 81 and an early hand injury hampered his bowling. With no frontline spinner, Abbas was left to manage the pressure, but two significant chances for Pakistan slipped away. The first occurred when Root was on 20, as an expansive cover drive hit the leg stump, only for the wicket to be denied due to a no-ball, marking Abbas's 17th such error in the series.

Root's response was swift, driving Ali for four runs. With the crowd witnessing a relatively calm day of cricket, England's chase concluded with a mis-field, sealing a comfortable win. Root, now back at the helm of the England captaincy, celebrated the series victory while acknowledging that tougher challenges lie ahead.
