Hi newbie cricket trader here

@richard-futter Absolutely I'll be around. I will be going to a few tests. Test cricket calendar is getting busy for August. W/C 12th there is 3 on at one time.

All over before lunch?
Could well be. Captain can delay by 30 mins too if they think they can bowl them out.
To be fair to Ireland, I think a lot of teams would struggle today in these conditions. -

Too kind. Where is Luke? Hope he's back for the Ashes. I know he loves his Test cricket.

I'm having a back of England at 1.5 - reckon Ireland will struggle to get close to a winning total.
great shout!

Looking at the BBC forecast it looks horrible for Lord's tomorrow. If there's much more rain today, a draw may not be out of the question. Currently at 75 but could shorten fast if there's more rain.

@luke-ridger you reckon? Ball to swing?
 - 
							
							
							
							
@richard-futter England have a winning score imo aswell.

Thank goodness for the nightwatchman.... without him this match would already have been lost!

Could be a classic finish to this match. Would be very exciting indeed if the Irish need about 150 tomorrow.

@dave-jessop
Plus if we are 100 for 4 or 5 again, in these conditions then we may as well call the Ashes off now!

@dave-jessop
I think mainly because its absolutely glorious batting conditions today.
Once we've seen off this new ball it could easily be a 350 for 3/4 day by close. Plus Ireland are never chasing 250 batting last imo. Get to 400 and its all over i feel. - 
							
							
							
							
@nathan-bennett well played

@jalpesh-madlani taken green ultimately draws are few and far between in this format of late and unsure what rock bottom market draw could get to .. observing now
