England need 130 to complete Pakistan series sweep
Pakistan’s late recovery, led by debutant Razaullah’s 81, has left England facing a fourth-day chase at Edgbaston.
England need 130 runs against Pakistan in the third Test at Edgbaston to complete a 3–0 series sweep.
Pakistan’s total was built around a late recovery led by debutant Razaullah, who scored 81 from 63 balls. His innings turned the final Test into a contest after England had already secured the three-Test series with a 2–0 lead.
Pakistan made four changes for the final Test following the second match at Lord’s. The third Test began at Edgbaston on 11 September.
Sky Sports reported the target on the fourth day, while noting that its live blog was temporarily unavailable. The latest match position beyond Pakistan’s target could not be independently verified.
England have therefore not yet won the third Test. Reaching 130 would give Joe Root’s side the series sweep; failure to reach the target would leave Pakistan with the match victory despite England’s series win.
