Nope. You don't get to the 5th test of a 5 test series, if you've not been in it.

England played well in tests 2 and 3.
Well enough to take advantage of the luck.
That's part of the game, these decisions happen, you still have to take advantage of them.
England did at lords.

We'll see if Australia do here.
