    England appear poised to go about their last day in the field in Australia without their skipper


    Ben Stokes suffered a leg injury while bowling during day four of the final Ashes test at Sydney.

    He came out to bat ... but was out caught for 1.

    England centurion Jacob Bethell was at the crease with Stokes.



    Bethell's resumed at 142, with Matthew Potts yet to score ... England are 302 for eight in their second innings with a lead of 119 runs.
