Robinson takes 100th Test wicket as England dominates

Ollie Robinson reached a significant personal milestone on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, by taking his 100th Test wicket as England asserted dominance over Pakistan on the opening day of the third Test at Edgbaston. Pakistan was bowled out for a mere 133 runs after being sent in to bat by England captain Joe Root. The tourists' batting lineup struggled against England's disciplined seam attack, with the top five batters all dismissed for single figures, a rare occurrence in Test cricket. Robinson's 100th wicket came in the third over of the match when he trapped Pakistan opener Saim Ayub lbw for a duck. Ayub reviewed the decision, but ball-tracking confirmed the delivery would have struck leg stump. This marked Robinson's 100th wicket in his 24th Test appearance. England's bowlers shared the wickets effectively. Josh Tongue was the most successful, taking four wickets for 42 runs. Robinson and Jofra Archer each claimed three wickets, contributing to Pakistan's low total. Robinson's achievement is notable for his bowling average. He reached the 100-wicket mark with a career average reported around 19.1.
