Awful first over with it..... I'm holding fire.
-
New ball taken. Surprised Curran is taking it.
-
With lunch only ten minutes away, they may well delay taking the new ball until after lunch.... should be worth backing England then, if you don't mind a relatively short price.
-
@richard-futter surely .. was ready to pull the trigger too

Yeah.... not expecing that from FAF. England surefire winners now I reckon.

Just 4 overs to the new ball. The first ten overs with it will decide the match I reckon - and if Anderson and Broad are at their best it's going to be very difficult for the SA batsmen.
-
@richard-futter 10 overs time I should be almost at my hotel and settled for the evening. Agree on De Kok and I keep reminding myself this SA team is not very good.
-
Will be backing England when we get towards the second new ball in ten overs' time. Every chance of a couple of wickets then - exposing a brittle lower order. De Kock is a great attacking player but I don't see him batting out time in the manner of an Atherton or Boycott.
-
Shaping up now as a very exciting day 5. I think I could be up late as long as my hotel has Fox Sports.

@shaun-halse already drip laying from 5.8,needs few early morning wickets now.
-
Draw now at 3!!!
-
South Africa need a record breaking 438 to win, and with just 17 on the board they're tumbling towards single figures... I feel some serious drip laying is in order.
-
Yep fully layed myself, a very green opportunity .
-
England doing their best to bring the draw back into the equation here. Down to 8 having traded at 120 earlier! Well worth laying at single figures; chances of a draw as close as you can get to zero I reckon, especially as there's only a 1% chance of any rain.
-
@shaun-halse didn't work out sadly - and I got out when the wicket fell, meaning a loss of ten ticks at 1.37. Looking back at it, should probably have waited an over or two to see how the pitch was behaving. Generally, with a short term trade like that I go with how I see the match rather than having a hard and fast fixed loss strategy.
-
@richard-futter thanks mate appreciate the feedback. I did numerous short term lays of Australia yesterday once NZ started their first dig before laying the draw this morning. Could see the Kiwis showing ticker before Oz got on top so was happy with my reading. Like the idea of laying an ordinary England before possibly laying an ordinary SA.
-
@james-woodroffe I do literally hundreds of trades during an England Test match, but that's because I do lots of short term scalps as well as the longer term trades.
-
If England can make just 200 in their second innings, they're 95% winners for me. Got to be worth a lay at 1.47 in the short term though, with such a couple of inexperienced opening batsmen.
