Two pace pitch developing variable bounce draw very layable still

@karl-mccarthy Nice one. Shows how things can change quickly in Test cricket.
-
@richard-futter Spot on with England price. Got in while at 17.5
-
Looks like being another long day for the England bowlers; was expecting rather more from Broad and Anderson this morning. Will add to the draw lay if it goes below evens.
-
Love the lay of the draw at this price - and I also think England are slightly over-priced around 9. NZ did well yesterday but they haven't got away from the home side yet, and an early strike or two could see England's price tumbling.
-
Day 2 nothing wrong draw lays these prices . Other thing looking for is if Nz got in deep odds on for a lay .
-
well thats incredible half matched draw lay 2.94 chaos as typed

market plan to remove red eng @5
-
Looks a good batting wicket early, so taking a small red on the England bet and getting out.
-
The draw is shortening nicely.
-
NZ win toss and bat first and, rather as expected, the odds put England and New Zealand on an even keel. I'm having a little back of England at 2.4 as I expect the England seam attack to make an early impact. It won't be a long term trade though as I think leaving out Jack Leach is a big mistake; if the Kiwis post a large first innings score - as they're well capable of doing - a spinner will be crucial later in the match, and I don't see Joe Root as any more than a part-time bowler in English conditions.

Finally!! So excited to get back into the summer of cricket. Fascinating series coming up here in the U.K. and before long SA touring the Caribbean. Best thing tho will be fans. Personally think NZ are a huge chance v England but like Richard I like the draw lay at 5.50. Hopefully it rains heaps in Paris over the next few days and i can be glued to the cricket.

Huge amount of cricket to look forward and hopefully mass profits #bringit

Can't wait for the return of Test cricket at Lord's tomorrow (Wednesday) when I'm expecting a cracking match, even if both England and New Zealand are short of full-strength.
England are currently odds on favourites with New Zealand available at better than 2/1, but I would have it much closer than that - pretty much a 50-50 shot.
The Kiwis have an excellent head to head record against England in recent years and even without No.1 seamer Trent Boult, they have more than enough in their armoury to cause a depleted home outfit plenty of problems.
For me, though, the true value is - as so often - in laying the draw. The current odds of 5.5 look short enough already, and if they contract further during the opening overs, there should be plenty of profits available.
Draws at Lord's are virtually unheard of in recent years, unless matches are affected by rain, and with everything looking set fair for five days of uninterrupted play, the chances of a draw look remote indeed.
I'll be following events closely throughout the match, and if I see any further opportunities I'll post as quickly as possible.
It promises to be an enthralling summer.

Having a small lay on Scotland at 1.12
