    After England's ultra-defensive display at Lord's, I'm surprised to see them clear favourites again at Edgbaston, where the second Test starts tomorrow (Thursday).

    With Trent Boult back in the Kiwis' side, I would have New Zealand as firm favourites, even though Kane Williamson is an injury doubt. He is the number one Test batsman in the world, but his record in England is distinctly average, and this is an extremely well drilled outfit well capable of producing outstanding cricket with their talisman leading things from the sidelines.

    England have a good record in Birmingham, but they were well beaten by Australia in the last Test played here two years ago.

    Barring a complete batting collapse from the visitors, I think an England victory is probably the least likely of the three outcomes and if New Zealand win the toss, I would expect them to start the match as favourites.

    Because of England's negative approach, I won't be laying the draw to any great extent at the outset, although depending how the pitch plays, it could pay dividends later in the match, especially if the weather forecast is more predictable than the one ahead of the Lord's match.

    If NZ win the toss and bat, I'll definitely be looking to back them in the expectation of putting some early green on the board.

    @dan-mackinnon Not without Buttler and Stokes playing

    Sibley obviously making the most of his last test match innings before being dropped

    @nathan-bennett I don't think that England team has "fast runs" in them

    @nathan-bennett Great declaration..... shame about Sibley. Does he know he is actually allowed to hit the ball? Makes Boycott look like Gary Sobers!

    There’s still a bit of life I think in this test with 140 overs still to be bowled. That 10th wkt partnership made things a bit easier for England but with these two attacks who knows.

    Well, didn't see this amount of rain coming, which just goes to show you can't always rely of forecasts at the starts of Test matches. Doesn't look as though we'll see much, if any, play today. But the rain might make things a little livelier for the bowlers when play does eventually resume, so I certainly won't be lumping on the draw.

    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.
