Default count number of instances of same data

Hello,
I have a worksheet with 2159 rows. Each row contains 2 columns (name and
number) with many duplicates.
I want to end up with a report that shows 3 columns (name, number,
instances) where there are no duplicates but the instances column shows the
number of times each name and number appears.
I think a pivot table is the solution but I can't get it to do what I want.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
