There is going to be a break in the weather soon. Don't think they'll get much, if any, play before the rain starts again though.
-
@jalpesh-madlani not sure what caused the drift. Maybe new weather information?
-
@simon what was that about?
-
Draw now on the drift. Up to 2.14
-
@josh-shaw tv annoying when show replays other games when rain on . could watch the rain all day
-
@nathan-bennett started raining over there too
-
meanwhile in srilanka draw 5.2-3.8 blink of eye on ..quitting work tmr ha
-
@richard-futter there was going to be an inspection at 11 but started to spit just enough to can that.
-
@jonathan-mcdaid Still around 1.88. Could go a little lower, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from laying at that price if they fancy it. Lord's is one of the best drying grounds in the world, and we're almost certain to get a full day's play tomorrow. Will be very surprised if the price doesn't go quite a bit higher before end of play on Thursday.
Also, while Friday afternoon might be wet, the forecast for the weekend is improving all the time.
Looking at the radar, I wouldn't rule out some play later today. Depends how risk-averse the umpires decide to be. But I really don't see this match ending in a draw. Neither side is geared up for batting out draws - and that especially applies to England, who have not drawn any of their last 16 Test matches.
-
@jalpesh-madlani looks like they will get a bit of play in today maybe ?
draw into $1.88 is now the time to strike ? -
Looking at the radar, it seems there's about to be a period of heavy rain followed by showers, but they could clear away later in the day. Reckon they could be humming and haring about the possibility of play after tea, which could lead to some nice moves in the draw market.

@nathan-bennett followed you there,nice green
-
mini partnership underway by nz , lay srilanka 2.12 aim 2.52 to drip out … 50 partnership taken green good start
-
@richard-futter on the jubilee line at the moment - raining at Neasden (7stops from Lords).
-
@james-woodroffe Nice one. Thanks for the weather update; just a case of trying to judge the bottom of the market when it comes to laying the draw at Lord's. Went down to 1.7 yesterday; if it goes below that today - which I think it will - I will certainly be laying.
-
@richard-futter joined you on that lay this morning now 6.80. Very grey and cold here at Lords.
-
@jalpesh-madlani you mean 140 mate
-
@richard-futter 14 ticks!!! Well done!
-
Out to 5 before lunch.... that'll do nicely
-
Laying the draw at 3.6 in the match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The wicket at Galle is a real bunsen burner and only one of the last 15 matches there have finished in a stalemate.
