Jonny Bairstow has batted in the nets ahead of play and is hopeful of batting during England’s second innings of the third Test at Trent Bridge.
The wicketkeeper sustained a small fracture to a finger to his left hand on day three, but has suffered no displacement, leaving open the possibility that he could bat without doing any further damage – albeit in some pain.
England began day four 498 runs behind India and require a minor miracle to avoid defeat.
