<p>Despite the Three Lions securing a series win by a margin of 2-1 in the first two encounters, the island nation's victory in the final encounter is really special as this is their first win in the longest format of the game against the European nation in a decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The island nation's victory against the Three Lions in the third test match has created a lot of changes in the overall standings of ICC's World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle, pushing them up in the standings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>England's defeat on the other hand has led them to falling down in the standings.&nbsp;</p>
