England fast bowler Ollie Robinson achieved the milestone of 100 Test wickets during the third Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston. By dismissing Saim Ayub, Robinson became the 50th England bowler to reach the century mark, joining an elite group of bowlers in the last 100 years to maintain a bowling average below 20.

Following his performance, Robinson received praise for his rhythmical bowling action, with commentators drawing comparisons to Australian legend Glenn McGrath. His impact during the summer included taking 23 wickets in three matches, highlighted by match figures of 8-35 at Lord’s. Robinson was ultimately named Player of the Series as England secured a 3-0 series victory over Pakistan.
