ENG vs PAK Match Preview:
England will take on Pakistan in the third and final Test of the Pakistan tour of England 2026 at Edgbaston in Birmingham, starting on September 9 at 3:30 PM IST. England have already sealed the three-match series with an unassailable 2-0 lead and will now target a complete clean sweep, while Pakistan will aim to restore some pride with a stronger performance in the final contest.
England produced another commanding display in the second Test at Lord’s, securing a comprehensive 194-run victory. Jamie Smith’s 61 and Jordan Cox’s 55 helped England post 290 in the first innings before Ollie Robinson dismantled Pakistan with exceptional figures of 4/11, restricting them to just 110. England then built their advantage through Dan Lawrence’s 54 in the second innings, setting Pakistan a target of 389. Although Saud Shakeel responded with a superb 97 off 122 balls, Pakistan collapsed for 194. Robinson again led the attack with 4/24, completing outstanding match figures of 8/35 to earn the Player of the Match award. Mohammad Abbas also impressed for Pakistan, taking nine wickets in the match, including 5/57 in England’s second innings.
With two dominant victories already behind them, England enter the final Test with momentum firmly in their favour. They won the opening match by an innings and 103 runs before following it with another convincing performance at Lord’s. Pakistan, meanwhile, have made significant changes ahead of the Edgbaston Test, releasing seven players from the squad and appointing Mike Hesson to lead the Test setup. England have largely retained their successful group, with Sonny Baker joining the squad while Brydon Carse and Matthew Fisher remain unavailable. Although the series result is already settled, England will remain focused on completing a 3-0 whitewash, whereas Pakistan’s reshaped squad faces the challenge of ending the tour on a positive note.
