10.30am England are left needing another miraculous recovery if they are to keep alive their hopes of regaining the Ashes. The hosts head into the final day at Old Trafford 18 for two, needing another 365 runs to pull off their highest Test run chase.
Their record run chase? That happened to come at Headingley two weeks ago as Ben Stokes’ heroics dragged them to victory. Surely lightning can’t strike twice? England would settle for just surviving the day and setting up a winner-takes-all fifth Test at the Oval.
