wow 1.08-1.16 AUS already
no suprise 2nd and 4th INNS will be fastest moving markets here
draw under 5 be something consider launching a lay
-
Just woken up and read through all the comments. Also checked the lineup and agree that England are extremely light on bowlers. Will Stokes be fit enough to bowl 20 overs in a day?
It's good that the draw will be a very attractive lay price but as you suggest, will either team be capable of taking 20 wickets? Is the play to lay England at odds on instead of the draw? Although the way we've started the batting run rate, this could be any number?
In the other test, Aus declare 2 runs short of 600. That's some knock.
-
Get the feeling only the fading light towards the end of play can stop England scoring 500+ on day one.
-
considering PAK scored over 200 for no wicket on day 5 the last time they played at Rawalpindi this might be a good call.
-
@nathan-bennett In total agreement about the England lay. This pitch isn't going to change greatly and England only have three specialist bowlers; unless Pakistan bat very poorly indeed, it's equally hard to see the tourists bowling them out twice.
-
@nathan-bennett Nathan, is the Perth track as flat as scoreline suggests?
-
wow,Bazball continues.!
-
finally home having proper look and feel to eng pak
awesome its on fox here in aus aswell
whats catching eye potentially is laying eng odds on for a swing
-
@nathan-bennett Not a very attractive price just now at around 6, but a Pakistan lay looks a pretty safe bet. It's hard to see how they're going to take 20 England wickets with their attack on this surface.

Could easily see the draw being odds on today.
-
Doesn't look like Mohammed Ali packs much of a punch.... boom boom
-
Only a handful of balls but already obvious this is going to be a batsman's paradise and, with no Afridi in the Pakistan attack, England really ought to rattle up a big first innings score.
-
Some start ENG
-
England batting first. Foakes the only player out. All three results in play here.
-
Match goes ahead as planned, although England might be missing a player or two
-
According to CricInfo if the match is delayed to a Friday start it will remain a 5 day test.
-
I believe a decision regarding Englands test match will be made around 230am UK time... (730am local to Pakistan).
-
@stuart-wallace The balance is all wrong without Bairstow at 5
-
I find the ENG team selection to be a bit odd.... Livingstone effectively being picked as 2nd spinner ? and batting at 8 !!
Duckett,Crawley are going to be walking wickets in this environment, and therefore ENG will likely be 1/2 wickets down very quickly.
