Bet 365 should be streaming pix, so that should give us a better idea of what's happening. Always difficult when relying solely on cricinfo and cricbuzz.

Price coming in again, which I guess means it might be raining again.
-
They're hoping to get in 60 overs - which makes the draw price look very low to me. I managed to get a small lay in at 1.52 but still looks value at around 1.7. Will be surprised if it doesn't reach 2.0.
-
yes just seen Sri Lanka won the toss.
just hoping for early wickets now to push the price out. -

Well, looks like there's unlikely to be any play today in SL - the forecast was indeed wrong... it's much worse than they said! Holding fire on that one at the moment.
I got in yesterday at 3.0
now just put a load more in at 1.72
so i really hope the play wont be cancelled
-
Just read that the sun is out about an hour away from the ground and that there could be play after lunch. pitch is also reported to be very green
I am going to let the draw continue to firm until play starts lay it then trade out after a couple of early wickets hopefully. -

I'm really liking the lay of the draw at just over 3.0 in the second Test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at Colombo, starting tomorrow morning.
The best thing to do with SL weather forecasts is to ignore them completely. They're virtually worthless.
And there hasn't been a drawn Test at this ground in 16 years. I fancy another SL win. They're on a three match winning streak and, amazingly, they could end this series ahead of England in the Test rankings.

@martin-futter Just traded out at $2.60 for a nice 25% profit.
Still learning trading but this is all without a ball being bowled madness ! -

Colombo weather for the next 5 days is thunder storms an 90% chance of rain, draw currently at $3.35. @Martin-Futter
Looks like a lovely entryforecast does look pretty grim! wouldn't go in to heavy at this stage though, you just never know with these forecasts, maybe a small back.

Looks like a lovely entry -
@dave-jessop the ICC passed the law 17 days before the first Ashes test started. The concussion substitute needs to be deemed a like for like replacement. So Laba’s was allowed cause he’s a middle order batsman who bowls a bit of leg spin.
-
This should be fun
-
Excellent captaincy if they declare in the next over. Have a go
-
@richard-futter cheers mate and just heard about Smith will definitely affect Headingly.
-
Archer has knocked Smith out of the rest of this match --- and almost certainly the next Test too. That will affect the markets hugely.
-
@james-woodroffe I think a draw is the most likely outcome - would bank the green if I were you
-
@richard-futter hi mate I’m currently away with work but see the draw price is at 1.35 thinking of laying again with green from the test. Confident we will see a result today?
-
I don't think we'll lose too many overs. 98 are due to be bowled and we only start to lose any of those once play is delayed by more than 30 minutes. Not at all surprised to see the draw price rising now.
