England secured a first home series whitewash of Pakistan with an eight-wicket win in the third Test at Edgbaston. Ben Duckett scored 11 and 0, marking his lowest scores of the summer and failing to build on his Trent Bridge century. He dropped three chances in the slips, though two early dismissals were not costly as Pakistan were dismissed for 133 in 33.5 overs.

Joe Root and Jordan Cox steered the team to a series sweep, with Root highlighting their readiness for upcoming tours. Emilio Gay contributed 60 in the first innings but was dismissed for a duck in the second, a setback given his strong form with three half-centuries this summer. His dismissal off a wide delivery from Mohammad Abbas drew criticism.

Jordan Cox scored 4 and 59 not out, demonstrating composure with an unbeaten half-century on the fourth morning to guide England from 2-2. He also impressed as a keeper, taking four catches and a stumping while deputising for Jamie Smith. The performances of Duckett, Gay, and Cox have added complexity to selection decisions, particularly with Jacob Bethell's potential return.

The squad now faces a challenging mix of form, fitness, and future opportunities.
