India needed fewer than three overs of the fifth morning at Trent Bridge to wrap up their victory over England

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club will refund 2,000 fans who bought tickets for the final day of the third Test between England and India.

The club also made entry to Wednesday's play at Trent Bridge free on the gate after receiving criticism for initially opting to charge fans £10.

That was because fans were likely to see limited play with India one wicket from victory at the start of play.

The tourists took just 17 balls to wrap up a 203-run win.

"We've slept on the day five pricing policy and frankly, we got it wrong," Nottinghamshire said in a statement before play started.

"All current ticket holders will be refunded and admission will be free on the gate with donations collected for charity."
