Big red on the draw for me. Hope Aus don't cover up successfully here.

Ball still talking though so a chance!

[Rene Ostenfeld]

@Richard-Futter WOW - price is bouncing all over the place

[Richard Futter]

@Gavin-Rumsey Ah you're quite right. Didn't know that. Not sure it'll make an difference to be honest.

[A Former User]

@Richard-Futter Is it because they have just announced the over calculation was wrong?

Just knocked 5 overs off what was expected.

[Richard Futter]

Anyone got any idea why the draw went from 10 to 3 in no time at all? Issue with the light?

[Richard Futter]

Draw price drifting like a barge. Usual story.

[Richard Futter]

Play about to restart. 52 overs must be bowled. All three results possible, but the draw has gone from 3 to 5. Hurrah.

[Stuart Wallace]

OK, game restarting with 50+ overs . AUS need less than 3 an over.

My big red at start of day slowly turning into a tiny green, had to work very hard at it mind you, but if there is a result then i should have a small green.

@Martin not in here - looking at the eng-aus match cricket right now - prices moving and all

[Martin]

anyone having issues with Betfair?

[Dan MacKinnon]

@Martin I’m following ESPN and they said tea is now with a pitch inspection at 4pm. But we might be in for a 3 hour final session.

I’ve got a train from Manchester back to London leaving at 4 and I don’t get signal. When I arrive back in London I might be really happy or really disappointed. Either way trading cricket is a bit more of a rollercoaster than the horses!

@Tony-Hastie mine's painting! Jesus the mess I will walk into soon

[Tony Hastie]

@Martin and a 3 hour "mega" session after tea. Kids are in the kitchen, hopefully not making me a cuppa

[Jono]

@Dan-MacKinnon I'm similar, just transferred red from Aus to draw ahead of the afternoons play, hoping the draw is just going to tick out.

even one relatively quick wickets and I'll be in a positive position.

An Australian win and I'll have a smaller red than I would have done otherwise.

@Martin

BBC news feed says Tea is being taken now and the weather is set to clear ready for a 'monster session'

@Martin said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:

@Dan-MacKinnon has any update been given, nothing on radio and I've got kids crawling all over me #summerholidays

suggesting a possible early tea with play sometime between 4 and 4:30

[Dan MacKinnon]

I think I’ve played this horribly. I’ve got a big red on AUS, scratch on the draw and a big green on ENG.

Broad, now is your moment

[Richard Futter]

Looks like we're getting back on around 4pm with any luck; early tea is being taken, so there will be plenty of overs to complete a result. Can't see the draw being a realistic prospect now, time to lay methinks.

[Martin]

@Adam-Cubbage it's such a marginal call at the moment, I wish I could see the ground more instead on Nasser Hussein interviewing 'leaders' in other sports
