Trevor Bayliss said England will need to take inspiration form Headingley heroics as they seek to save the Ashes at Old Trafford.
England was precariously placed at 18-2, chasing a distant 383 to win or, more realistically, needing to bat three sessions to escape with a draw.
Bayliss said: "It's a big challenge but we've got two guys out there who are very good players and we've certainly got some players in the sheds who can make hundreds.

"It'll take a couple of our guys to make good hundreds but, as we saw in the last Test, anything is possible.
"I'm always positive, I think we can do it. We've had a chat in the changing room, we're certainly not going out thinking it's all over. They believe they are good enough to bat for 98 overs and save the game."
Bayliss is confident in the batsmen remaining and points to Stokes' heroic efforts as proof of what can be achieved.
He said: "It probably gives the rest of the guys belief, that if one guy can do it someone else can do it as well.
"We've already spoken about who is going to put their hand up and be the hero tomorrow. We know it is going to be hard work, but we're going out there with the aim to do that."
