Is anyone LTD yet in PAK vs ENG? I might have missed the boat from yesterday but felt 6.0 was still a little high.
-
England definitely looking more threatening with seam now. Pakistan have only 1 seamer in their 11. Could be a factor later in the test.

PAK ENG
PAK LAY @2.26 is on
Would re lay @1.7 areas -
Forgot to post
Have had a 10% of my green ENG LAY 1.06 -
@Tony-Hastie Don't be too hard on yourself, it really didn't look like much was going to happen, so taking a loss could be viewed as good bank management. England scoring 800 is mad. When I woke up this morning I was thinking perhaps if we get 1000 by close of play we can force a result
But I had faith that this England team always try to force results. -
@Stephen-Hancox Sadly it seems I dont have the patience for it! Cashed out of my LTD when I saw Eng had scored 800 odd! Im mean, who the hell expects a result when theres been 1300 runs scored in the first 2 innings
-
Tes cricket is a gift. Patience was tested laying the draw but although the pitch has been benign, other factors came into it like Pakistan's form and scoreboard pressure. Nice green for me. Can't wait for the next test.

PAKISTAN being PAKISTAN
BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
Had to take some DRAW @6.6 bang -
PAK ENG
Small BACK of PAK @240 -
Feels like this game is 50/50. Pakistan look like they gave up long ago in the field. Doesn't instil much confidence in their batting.
I'm just going to watch from here. Have learned lots about market movement so appreciate the posts @Nathan-Bennett. I'm still very new to cricket trading past the easy LTD early in tests. Should help me take these other opportunities long term.
Fingers crossed for wickets from here!
-
@Nathan-Bennett yep I bailed out of that lay far far far too soon at 2.1.
All that commentator chat about tired batters vs fresh bowlers got to me. You live and learn.
Looks like the draw has bottomed out. Might regret this but will wait a few overs into PAK innings, see if it comes in silly then will have a lay.

PAK ENG
Gee looking back PAK 1.8’s while batting mental
Hopefully ENG can take wickets -
Seeing little i like in this one. Had a PAK lay in at 2.1 late yesterday for 20 mins and price did not move, so came out. 10 mins later with no change in rate, was 2.7. Everytime since the prices have moved as expected but liability too high.
Think il hold off until the draw gets silly short then maybe have a punt. ENG could bat until this time tomorrow then put PAK in. Guess it depends if Root, Brook and Smith can score really big though. But batting 5 sessions on this track to save still looks very realistic, even for PAK.
Would be far happier if ENG were chasing 350 in 50 overs for the win on day 5 though.

PAK ENG
DRAW LAY 1.71 to go with initial LAY 2.34 -
Nar PAK going to blow hard closer ENG get
My minds on draw lay all day
Eyeing thoughts at worst case if ENG chase 350 with 50-60 overs left (hopefully a pak sporting declaration ha)
What price would the draw be then .., suspect not much diff to now if its lower LAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNCH -
Guessing PAK price will only come in if they take early wickets? Pity, would really like to lay them from here.
Holding off anything at the moment.
Everything is telling me ENG bat long too. Seen little from the pitch, its not IND/ SL where you know it will crumble. Wickets have been errors/fatigue from the batters. Can PAK bowlers get more from it is the real question.
-
PAK ENG
DRAW LAY @2.34 hooking in !!!! -
@Stephen-Hancox totally agree, long way. But for me, a small red now, can re-enter later, the price will still be there. Looking like the draw could get very low.
We see clusters of wickets all the time in tests so definitely a chance.
-
@Nathan-Bennett yeh, I've watched the draw tumble in fast, taken a red on that for now. Small red for now much better than a huge one later. This looks similar to the 1st test vs BANG, nothing for the bowlers.
I do agree, given what has happened and the lack of penetration in the ENG attack too, a big PAK lay could be the play once they get a big score. I fancy ENG to get some runs, the concern was always their bowling.
-
Got some Eng draw lays in at 5.8 and 4, will do same again if gets to 3. Waiting game, long way to go.
