A double runout and two wickets for Matthew Potts have given England an unlikely chance of a final-day victory at Trent Bridge
The fifth day at Trent Bridge is free to all-comers and for those who do take up the offer, it could prove the best money they never spent. All four results remain possible and for England, architects of a stirring fourth evening, this means the possibility of securing a first series win under Ben Stokes at the earliest opportunity.
It began almost immediately too, Henry Nicholls loosely slapping Potts to Alex Lees at backward point on three to rouse the slightly thinned-out fourth day crowd. There was no question about the true catalyst however, with the calamitous run out of Will Young for 56 soon after the type that sends belief coursing through a team.Photograph: Tom Jenkins/The Guardian
Next came Michael Bracewell, who briefly took the attack to England by crashing four fours and one six in a 17-ball 25. Ambition got the better of the debutant, however, and after he chipped Potts to mid on, and another Mitchell mix-up saw Tim Southee run out for a duck, the tourists rather limped to the close.
