Root and Cox to the rescue as England beat Pakistan in third Test

Joe Root guided his side through early trouble alongside Jordan Cox during the third Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston. After a disastrous start left the home team teetering with two wickets down for just two runs, the skipper and Cox combined effectively to steer the innings back on course.

The pair successfully knocked off the required target of 130 to secure an eight-wicket victory. This decisive result sealed a comprehensive 3-0 series whitewash for the English team over their opponents.
