laid draw at 3.75.
ball is already moving & new ball is due

greening up now at 7.00,patience provided profit once again.used 4% of my bank roll in drip laying,didn't expected draw to get that short,anyways money management is the key I think.

I've got my liability exit lined up just awaiting for it to match it's a few ticks lower than its currently at.

Happy days and out now for this test match.
A few things to work on and fine tune for my trading going forward but loving the return of test match cricket and getting back into it.

I think patience will be rewarded as 83 overs is a lot to bat out. I can see Eng price going up to 2.5+ if more wickets don’t come early. I’m drip backing Eng from 2.0, with the targets of 1-2 wks this morning, 3-4 in the afternoon session and up to 6 in the extended evening session.

Richard Futter

Nice start

Simji

Wil see how the first few overs go and might take some liability out

@richard-futter i was also encouraged a little yesterday by Broad’s comment of maybe having to be prepared to lose in order to win this test. The changing of the order signals intent. I think they give them selves 10 overs also. 5 an over will make the lead 269 and sets up a fascinating days play. I can’t wait.

Morning all. I’ve been reading this thread over past few weeks as I used to follow cricket quiet a bit until other interests took precedence. However I would like to get back into it for trading.

Just wanted to run a couple questions past the people in the know about today’s cricket.

I’m thinking England won’t be happy to declare with the current total and so are likely to bat until lunch? So am I right in assuming the draw may shorten depending on run total? Or is it possible it’ll stay steady?

With this in mind, WI will either have to come out swinging or we’ll have to get quick wickets for that price to shoot back out again?

Sorry if it’s sounds daft just wanted to see if I’m reading it anywhere near or if I’m way off the mark

They won't bat until lunch. Around ten overs I reckon before putting the Windies back in. WI definitely won't come out swinging either. A draw means they keep the Wisden Trophy, so they'll be more than happy to take things steadily and see how things develop. In my estimation though, the pitch is doing enough to give us a positive result - or at least a very close thing which should see the draw price drift nicely.

The timing of the declaration means everything today..... I'm encouraged by the way Root has changed his batting order to make quick runs. I'm hoping they'll get a lead of around 275 and give themselves 85 overs to bowl WI out. That then gives them a chance of getting a second new ball if it gets tight in the closing stages. An England win on the cards for me
