Can't understand why Australia are batting so negatively.... a few quick runs and a declaration is surely the order of the day. They've already got about 100 too many to give India any realistic chance of winning

Surely Aus intent with bat now 
 Can see draw trimming and plenty movement
 …
 And you’d think aus plan this declaration two have two new balls Incase req
 10-15 overs could dec

The highest ever successful run chase at The Oval is 263 - made a small matter of 121 years ago. If it was England, I'd be cautious but I really can't see India chasing down this kind of total against such a potent Aussie attack. Will definitely be looking to lay if their odds dip.

As you say forecast has changed and should be clear throughout. I removed liability earlier but I'd love a second entry if the draw could come back down...

Looks like the threat of any rain at Lord's during this match has now disappeared. Got to be a good time to lay the draw, especially if Cummings stops overstepping!

@Richard-Futter 2.7 was nuts, easy money as always! Need more test matches. Thanks for the heads up!

BOOM BOOM!

Looking good now

@Richard-Futter agree with that could take day or two for draw to move quickly north BOOM on ya bike green

As hoped for, Head gone. Hasn't moved the draw market much though. This is going to be a long term trade it seems.

Odds haven't really moved overnight. The draw at 2.7 still looks very layable; Smith may look barnacle like here, but Travis Head rode his luck yesterday and could well fall early this morning. And the Aussie tail looks on the lengthy side. A small green after day one, but more wickets today please!

@Martin According to the Test Match Special team it comes into operation 'if there is a significant loss of play due to rain'. I would think it'll be up to the match referee and umpires to make the decision on a sixth day, and I'm confident they would want to get a result if at all possible. A draw would be a highly unsatisfactory result in a world final after all! 
 PS. Just had a look at the rules and they say the sixth day can only be used to make up lost time. So any rain stoppages can be made up on the Monday.

@Richard-Futter how does the extra day work, is this only if a whole day gets washed out? 
- 
							
							
							
							
@Matt-Ayles Thought it wouldn't go very much lower today - and it hasn't really dipped any lower than around 2.7 - so a very low risk lay really. A wicket or two would have been nice, but reckon it's worth hanging on to. There is movement and the ball is still pretty new.

@Richard-Futter how much lower could it go?!
