Tickets went on sale this week for the final day of the fourth npower Test which takes place at Trent Bridge from August 25-29, and already more than 5,000 have been snapped up.

It?s the first time that Notts have made fifth day tickets available in advance and Commercial Director Lisa Pursehouse said: ?It?s proved to be a very good decision because clearly the demand for Ashes tickets is as great as ever.

?Our usual system with tickets for the final day of a Test is to make an assessment of the match situation late on day four but we didn?t want to have 10,000 people queuing to get in to Trent Bridge on the final morning.

?There are no guarantees, of course, that the game will get to the fifth day but the feedback we?ve had from England fans is that if it does look like going the distance, they want to be there.?

Tickets cost just ?10 for adults and ?5 for juniors and in the event of the Test finishing before day five or bad weather preventing any play at all, a full refund will automatically be given to the purchaser.

But if even one ball is bowled, no refund will be available.

There are still plenty more tickets available which can be bought from the Trent Bridge Ticket Office in person or by phone on 0870 168 8888.
