ENG v NZ Draw price starting to creep up. Took some at 2.98.

Weather also looking reasonable for most of the days now.

There has been only 1 draw at Headingley in past 20 Tests - a lot of which you would have expected to be interrupted by rain at some stage, based on normal Leeds weather.
Also, only 1 team batting first in the past 5 tests has got over 200- and these teams include India,Oz,Eng. Havnt checked Yorkshire scores this season.

NZ will likely have Kane back.

TBH, i think 3 is a very good price to lay , with the proviso of keeping an eye on weather.

Just saw the BBC weather for the week ahead, seems to be just the threat of a few showers over most days. The chance of some proper rain Saturday afternoon but unlikely at this stage, apart from that it doesn't look like much time will be lost at all. With all the stats and history of the venue etc, laying the draw seems a good call to me.

Aaand green. Lovely. On we march.

Still involved myself, my Aus back almost got there but remains unmatched... gonna stay in a little longer, see how the powerplay goes. As @Stuart-Wallace says, on this pitch, 250+ won't be straightforward.

Nathan Bennett

Backed AUS 1.98

Might not be up for all this game
Could square it up after 8-10 overs aus INNS

one point is apparently SL are only playing 1 pace bowler, its a used wicket so could get slower and lower to bat on with it hard to get spin away - anything over 250 may be a real tough ask.

Nathan Bennett

@stuart-wallace yeah cheers all red out now. those one's and two's rotate strike important to see to build on

some point late INNS might go all green on aus and zero sri
we see

The weather isn’t looking too bad from what I can see during play, I’d expect as usual it won’t be as bad as early forecasts predict,we might lose 1 or 2 sessions. Hopefully the price will keep hammering in, odds of 3 is a massive value lay for Headingley in my opinion

Yes, my thoughts as well Tom. however, my App says continuous breaks from days 2 to 5. Also, neither side has an incentive to win.

XC Weather now changed and suggesting we will have a dry first 2.5 days, and a completely dry Sunday now.
Lay price now down to 2.88 - i'm ready on the button !
Whats other peoples weather apps telling them?

EDIT: Queued at 2.86 and 2.8

First bet
SRI runs over 229
early in the partnership happy to gamble and may go again in the 40th overs assess

if another quick wicket shortly maybe a aus lay at stupid low odds for a swing

Aus lay going well so far... oh dear. Will see if there's any sign of a SL partnership but may be an early exit here.

Nathan Bennett

Wonder if marnus bowls
Pitch looks similar to game 3
Bounce and spin first INNS

Nathan Bennett

What a dick

Stuart Wallace

Russell Arnold thinks good pitch - 260 par. Certainly looks good.

Hasaranga in and also Cummins

? Offline

Australia to chase.

Nathan Bennett

AUS SRI
standard stuff attempting 5 ticks pre game laying the favs aus if bat first after initial market reaction
Toss is huge if pitch is similar to game 3 , think win toss and chase surely
AUS down in the series (so good to see)

@nathan-bennett i got in at 3.8 and out at 3.05 - now sitting with nice green to play with.

Likewise mate. Few points of green to play with. I'd actually like to see any of the 3 options go sub 1.5 on day 1 or 2 for a lay.
