    England's Jacob Bethell's clinging to hope of an improbable consolation win as an Ashes test prepares to enter a fifth day for the first time this series

    England's Jacob Bethell's clinging to hope of an improbable consolation win as an Ashes test prepares to enter a fifth day for the first time this series


    The tourists will resume at 302 for eight ... with Bethell the only recognised batter left unbeaten on 142 alongside Matthew Potts who is yet to score.

    Bethell admits it's unlikely, but there is a path to giving themselves a chance.



    Play is set to resume at midday.
