In the final Test at Edgbaston, England secured an eight-wicket victory, completing a 3-0 series sweep against Pakistan. Joe Root survived a near-dismissal due to a front-foot no-ball, allowing England to chase down 130 runs. Throughout the series, Pakistan struggled significantly, often showing inadequate preparation and competitive spirit. The PCB responded to the defeat by announcing the removal of seven players from the Test squad, including head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed, as they face criticism for a poor performance that leaves them at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings.

"Pakistan lost a wicket on the first ball of the series and, on the last ball, misfielded as England completed the whitewash. In between, there had been three Tests in which Pakistan rarely looked competitive, often looked unprepared and, by the end, barely resembled (literally) the team that had landed in England.
