Start of play delayed. Dunno a start time yet but drizzle came as soon as we went on air. No overs will be lost unless play starts after 11am. It’s light and annoying.
-
@james-woodroffe something like
Virat to Kane
Mate yes you have the upperhand at the mo how about this
we bowl legside wides for 130 odd byes you have a small lead and we go again
Kane to Virat
Bang i'll let all the traders no -
@chris-osborne The lay of the draw would look very good if the captains decided that. We need the Sir Gary Sobers approach!

What would the benefit of New Zealand batting on this morning would it not be better to declare where they are now for India to get 200/250 then set up a run chase for the end of today/tomorrow.
Unless New Zealand score quick runs today and have a lead of around 200 then declare this evening with the view of bowling India out, if they bat at the same pedestrian pace as on Sunday, a result is highly unlikely

@nathan-bennett I’m hoping the two skippers have been attending the @Richard-Futter school of positive thinking and we see aggressive cricket today and they push for a result 196 overs max game on Go the Kiwis.

@james-woodroffe Ooooooo come on the kiwis fast runs #dontaskformuch

Good morning from Southampton I can confirm that play will be starting ON time at 10:30. 98 overs hopefully today.
-
@dj-reid if wickets fell say 2-3 and who ever at crease looks settled could be tempted to back draw so as I feel can get 40-50c out of the market but no backing it at current .. would love to see Nz bat dominate to head towards a winning score a potential declaration but again hard to foresee at mo

@nathan-bennett There's still some rain around at the moment although it should largely clear up by the 10.30 start time; but whether they can dry it up in time is another matter. I would love to think the captains will get together and decide to go for a result. It would do no one any favours for the first ever 'Ultimate Test' to fizzle out in a tame draw, but I'm probably an incurable optimist.
So currently are there any viable trades?
Im trying to predict what price the draw would be by the end of today after a full days play if nothing exciting happens. If it would only come in a little then may be a low risk lay and can get out at the end of today?
However, I appreciate if start delayed then the draw may come in substantially.
I'm potentially just looking for trades because I'm impatient though and waiting and watching is probably the way to go!

@richard-futter yes NZ to reach 217 then offer no shots make it a one dayer tmr ha
Agree to split prize money behind scenes forsure a result -

Gone for a small lay of SA @ 1.16 which I’ll monitor this afternoon - this evening some fight back from WI yesterday so hopefully the batsman can and do show some fight also today.
Awful decision making by Myers and Powell with 2 days to chase the target. Taken a small hit and will move on now.

It couldn’t be anymore miserable here in Southampton this morning the weather forecasters got it spot on.
-
@dj-reid I’ve had a little lay SA . 1.3’s be nice to take some red out and see what happens
May only take another 15 runs . Some attack they’re facing tho
Short term trade or lose thisNZ IND draw market likely to be very thin during day and later
Hoping two full days play tues weds and some pressure to that market with runs and wicketsI’m sure @Richard-Futter will have some clarity aswell
-
Thanks for all the comments yesterday guys.
@Nathan-Bennett do you mean for the NZ v India or the WI v SA match?
Am I right in thinking highly unlikely WI are going to hit that 300+ run chase and if their odds come down around 4.0 they are worth a lay?

What price draw after today
Anyone launching a lay after today
