@james-woodroffe Unlucky. Strange things happen at Headingley.
-
Wow I think I might cry. No damage done but what could have been. Long term lay England 1.18 bike ride to the pub for a sneaky sulk pint.
-
Nice bit of green this morning.
Now lay England to collapse too.
-
Hats off hard ENG
Gees $6 IND wtf -
Feel obliged to lay 2’s on long term
Just being me ha
And if eng were say 4’s on start of IND second INNS that’s a lay too
Eng 2-2.5 if happened later today start dripping back and squaring book a lil -
I did the same. A little bit of green left. With India’s tail I may get back on the India lay post lunch.

Flipped now after greening up and laying England at 2.02 expecting a India fight back after lunch.
Bugger. Went against my judgement to stick with the India lay till lunch and it backfired.
-
The old draw trim to end session
damn 4 down reckon 10 ticks and auto lay draw

@richard-futter some delivery just best rhythm ever
-
dodge ha back to square 1 ha

Jimmy Anderson is totally amazing. We're gonna miss him when he's gone!
-
7.4-6.0 ended up back to lay draw
Using the buffer and some on ENG lay
-
@richard-futter it could be a nice toss to lose. If they get one of these two by lunch it will be a great one to have lost.
-
brilliant work early layers
small draw back me 5's be nice
nothing serious as far as staking
just pinching green attempt -
@james-woodroffe Great lay James! Good toss to lose?
-
Early lay of India at 2.06. Not a long term hold more a early morning new ball trade.
As Richard said if India get to lunch only 2 down they will be in a very strong position. -
India batting first. I think it will be difficult to begin with but if they get through to lunch losing no more than two wickets, they'll be in a very strong position.
Will be fascinating to see how England bowl. Years ago this was a venue where wickets fell quickly to the seamers, but that's been less the case in recent times.
-
Nasser says it's a 50-50 bat/bowl first morning. Could be early wickets either way.

Got to be a bat first day today surely, after the events at Lord's. India are rightly favourites. To be honest, I'm slightly surprised they're not even firmer favourites. I guess punters are factoring in the way England came back the last time they were at home to Kohli's talented side.
Looks as though we'll get five clear days, so the draw looks a very unlikely outcome; as ever anything around 3 or under has to be a lay. England certainly need to win, and Kohli doesn't strike me as the kind of captain to settle for a stalemate.
Speaking of which, what a great, sporting declaration from Babar Azam for Pakistan, a decision which certainly led to Pakistan levelling the series in the West Indies. From a trading point of view, it's worth remembering what happened in Jamaica if Babar ever finds himself in a similar position - he's clearly always looking for a positive result, even at the risk of possibly losing. Most other captains - including Joe Root I suspect - would have batted quite a bit longer and might have missed their chance of a win because of it.
