India need a world record chase to win this. Not gonna happen.
-
Apparently if there's any more than an hour's worth of rain, that time can be made up on Monday. Otherwise, it finishes win, lose or draw tomorrow evening.
-
@Richard-Futter can foresee during ashes Pat being challenged plenty on and off the field in this regard
If day six required what we looking at
25-30 overs so far perhaps -
Can't understand why Australia are batting so negatively.... a few quick runs and a declaration is surely the order of the day. They've already got about 100 too many to give India any realistic chance of winning
-
Surely Aus intent with bat now
Can see draw trimming and plenty movement
…
And you’d think aus plan this declaration two have two new balls Incase req
10-15 overs could dec -
The highest ever successful run chase at The Oval is 263 - made a small matter of 121 years ago. If it was England, I'd be cautious but I really can't see India chasing down this kind of total against such a potent Aussie attack. Will definitely be looking to lay if their odds dip.
-
As you say forecast has changed and should be clear throughout.
I removed liability earlier but I'd love a second entry if the draw could come back down...
-
Wowee ripper catch . Funny after all the balls ups by aus
-
Looks like the threat of any rain at Lord's during this match has now disappeared. Got to be a good time to lay the draw, especially if Cummings stops overstepping!
-
loving india run rate
draw lays again likely -
AUS IND
AUS will be a lay for me some point try double money
Prob wait till AUS declare next INNS -
Happy days
AUS runs line
Match odds success (likely ha)
Bring on the ashes -
@Richard-Futter 2.7 was nuts, easy money as always! Need more test matches. Thanks for the heads up!
-
BOOM BOOM!
-
Looking good now
-
@Richard-Futter agree with that could take day or two for draw to move quickly north
BOOM on ya bike green
-
As hoped for, Head gone. Hasn't moved the draw market much though. This is going to be a long term trade it seems.
-
Odds haven't really moved overnight. The draw at 2.7 still looks very layable; Smith may look barnacle like here, but Travis Head rode his luck yesterday and could well fall early this morning. And the Aussie tail looks on the lengthy side. A small green after day one, but more wickets today please!

@Martin According to the Test Match Special team it comes into operation 'if there is a significant loss of play due to rain'. I would think it'll be up to the match referee and umpires to make the decision on a sixth day, and I'm confident they would want to get a result if at all possible. A draw would be a highly unsatisfactory result in a world final after all!
PS. Just had a look at the rules and they say the sixth day can only be used to make up lost time. So any rain stoppages can be made up on the Monday.
