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?!
-
Can't resist it; having a lay of the draw at 2.8 - hadn't expected it to get that short on day one
-
AUS over 335 runs
backed this few overs back sorry -
Sun shining and India's decision at the toss looks a mistake; expect draw price to plummet close to 4 fairly quickly if there are no more wickets before lunch.
-
IND AUS
not even close to a bet but scenarios that will get eyes popping a lilBACK TO LAY DRAW
if smith labushange in early togetherLAY AUS 1.5's and repeat if lower

Amazing how much Australia are shortening, even though they haven't scored a run yet
