Trophy remains under fire (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
the ashes
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'trophy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'remains under fire' is the second definition.
(ashes are the remains of a fire)
(Other definitions for the ashes that I've seen before include "Cricketing trophy" , "trees" , "Trophy for winner of AngloAustralian cricket series" , "Trophy awarded in England-Australia cricket, sounds grubby" .)
