The home summer of Test cricket wraps up at Edgbaston, where England bid to complete a series whitewash against Pakistan.

Joe Root's appointment has brought some stability back to the red-ball side and seen them earn two much-needed victories against the tourists after an eventful start to 2026.

It's worth remembering that Pakistan are a team in crisis – one that has dropped seven players and called up five uncapped replacements in the break between Lord's and Edgbaston – but there have certainly been green shoots for England.

The four-strong pace attack – Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson – looks fearsome; Harry Brook is playing with a newfound composure; and the new additions – Jordan Cox and Dan Lawrence – have come up with some big runs.

With a huge 12 months ahead, Root will want his side to sign off with another win at Edgbaston and would love a big score to quieten concerns after a run of LBW dismissals.

Radio Times brings you the full schedule and the details on how to watch England v Pakistan.
