West Indies have won the toss and will bowl. No hesitation to lay Pakistan at 2.04 especially with the likelihood of showers thru out the day.
-
Draw down to 3... gotta have a lay there.
-
would be a 1.8-1.7 IND layer close to lunch / during
draw training in gees 3.0 too much to ask for
-
@richard-futter bowling first is not a concept that sits well with us Aussies. As you say and I agree you need the opposition 3 down by lunch otherwise it can backfire pretty quickly. Rohit for mine looks a lot more settled than Rahul. Interesting hour coming up.
-
@james-woodroffe India having luck on their side in the last couple of overs, but runs coming a little too quickly for comfort. If you put a side in in Test cricket you really need at least 3 wickets in the opening session.
-
@richard-futter yeah I think it was 2 balls after posting I saw enough to think “that post might not age well”.

Starting to think this was a good toss to lose.
Early doors yet, and the ball is definitely moving.

What information has Sibley got to enable him to still be picked.
I know what you mean but there isn't exactly a flood of English top order batsmen demanding to be promoted to Test level, and he does stick around for a good while. We don't really want Joe Root coming in in the first 20 minutes.

No Ashwin 4th INNs but still
-
Pitch roughing up in first over! Hard to see this finishing in a draw
-
Nice to see the 4.7 draw lay drift to 5.3 before play starts - gives a nice little cushion.
-
Early draw lay at 4.90 with the overhead conditions will want a couple of wickets early doors and if not will take an early hit and look to build on India if it looks a good deck for a big 1st innings total.
-
England win toss and bowl. Anderson ok so should be an interesting pre-lunch session.
-
Toss at 10.50; play starts just 15 minutes late at 11.15. Will make up time at the end of the day so nothing lost timewise.
-
@matt-ayles Michael Vaughan agrees with you. So I've had a little lay of the draw at 4.7 in the expectation of a few early wickets. Will get out early, though, if it looks like a batting wickets
-
forsure first session batters be protecting wicket
-
Covers are going on, umbrellas are up! That wasn't in the script... I think the toss is important to win, and in these conditions with Anderson looking likely to feature, I'd bowl first.
-
Look like good bowling conditions and there's some talk of putting the opposition in if winning the toss. I doubt it somehow, but things are expected to improve through the day. Not a day for traders to commit too much until we've seen a few overs bowled.
