At the SSC this time. A ground with a lot of draws. While P Sara has hardly any. The ground or the vagaries of the weather?
Forecast about the same as the last Test. I expected the draw to be shorter given the ground and was going to lay it, but 2.5 about right IMO.
SL have only lost 1 in the last 21 Tests here.
A modest lay of Lanka as India the better team, but without much conviction. I don't like to oppose that kind of history.

All it needs is a bit of rain/a storm to give us a very volatile market here.
More chance of leprosy than a drop of rain; unfortunately.
Going to be afternoon if at all it seems. market all over the place on that wicket.
What a pathetic weasel Tiramisu is. He must be the worst international batsmen in world cricket at the moment
Yeah in awful form atm. Situation doesn't suit Kushal P either, can see him going cheaply. Only Herath who could potentially bat overs with Matthews here imo. Things looking very bleak for SL, desperately needing the rain gods to save them.
yup, no chance of them saving it without some sort of weather intervention.
Risky singles right before lunch when you are trying to save the game. Mind boggling stuff
Market has more faith in them than I do. 1.25 at lunch with India needing another 5 wickets for the win. Don't see them getting to tea here.
About 60 overs left for 5 wickets. 33 with the old ball & 27 with the new ball = no chance
Doubt we get all of the overs in. Even with no rain, bad light could knock off a few. Getting to tea max 7 down is going to be some ask though.
Wickets please. I traded all my green (1400) on India between 8.4 and 4.0. come on Boys.
400 :) huh :) backers free money now
nightmare for layers
nightmare for layers
my guess is SRI will collapse soon:) these are not sangakara's and jaywardanay's
no more wickets in the next 30 mins and the draw will drop quickly
About 4 hours of play left - 13 overs per hour. 52 overs 5 wickets. Could get interesting
not watching thecricket just the market and the draw crashing now?
There has to weather threat surely. Odds don't make sense otherwise.
played my first bet of the match:) was just following match till now
backed draw 3.5+ now
backed draw 3.5+ now
once it reaches that tipping point it always goes quickly until a wicket falls
when going at 4 an over all outcomes possible,no run rate dropping makes it draw or india win
Seems a bit early for the price to go already.
The middle session has been the quietest in terms of wickets through the test match

Not really, let the trend be your friend. Old ball, the constant threat of a shower from nowhere etc. 20 overs til the new ball and people are pushing the draw down and then flip when the new ball approaches
Fair point - not complaining, it's done me a massive favour tbh. Just surprised it went as early as it did, esp when you consider the Lankan tail.
Not sure the market takes that in consideration just yet. India backers at short odds will also take a loss as the fear factor creeps in
Kohli has taken a few fielders out of catching positions as well now.
Yeh he will try and sit in now, the fear of loss will start to enter his head
backed the draw 1/2hr ago at 4.7 and just backed sri lanka @ 36, hoping india drift shortly
SRI 18's what a turn around if these two stays SRI can win it too
@dylansdad
green out dear :) wicket can fall from no where and odds wont let u green out

Risky batting from Perera. SL win not even in the equation imo - although I have comedy green under them. Very good hour for them though after lunch.
your right slick indian price sticking around 1.47, might look to take a small green rather than wait and price doesn't move up just down?
@Only-the-Brave
comedy gree = 100k? JK
ya SRI win is out of question:)

maybe the ball change will help India (hopefully not)
India's odds haven't changed for ages, the fix must be in
thats exactly what i m thinking :) india odds stuck around 1.44-1.45 for a long time
at what stage u guys think draw be 2

Once India's odds start moving they too go quickly until they get a wicket
Tea without wickets and I'd have the draw pretty decent fave. No way do all of the 54 overs get played here.
Still best part of an hour until then though, huge ask to survive until then. Perera already lasted a lot longer than I thought he would.
I never lay high odds, I haven't got the stomach for it
I reckon there is only about 42 overs left. 1 hr til tea and 2 1/2 max after tea. 3 drinks breaks & fading light 3.5hrs x 12 per hour = 42
T20 generation believes anything is doable. SL should be 50s really.
yeh + the new ball will do plenty and slow the over rate down. A wicket is about 5 mins also.
good luck gents im out, small green for a hours work

Ashwin beginning to look a bit more threatening
India had the rub of the green massively in SL's first dig
Be interesting to see when Kohli starts to genuinely fear the SL win. These runs must have him twitching. Some more run prevention fields would be great.
india odds again declining strange
from 1.9 to 1.75 again and around 1.8

new ball around the corner. They look short to me now though
One wicket and the SL win is out of the equation. They're far too short atm as well.
So many variables with effectively all 3 results in play. Especially as afternoon session is where the weather/light threat is as well.
As I type, Perera gone just before tea! Talk about throwing it away.

They should of played for the new ball, then tried to see that off & then gone for the win in the last hour, if possible. Not great thinking
tbf SL will take it. Top innings nonetheless and much more than you'd expect from him.
New ball should mop up the bowlers.
Great innings by Mathews.
Great innings by Mathews.
SL's session definitely. Game on after tea. Keeping most of my green on the draw, think bad light will come into play.
Probably about 2hrs 15 mins left, 28/29 overs. A long time for Mathews and the tail to last
herath is one of the better number 8 batsman in world cricket, he base his batting technique on brian laras i think
well that's killed what could have been a great session of test cricket
Herath is good enough blocking 100 balls can the other block 70 balls, 12/1 draw is not the worst bet
Perera's reverse sweep looking like the key moment now
just nipped out and got back gsm. Never mind had a realy good test match. A draw would have been brilliant but that's life
An undeserved profit for me, after I c0cked up the rain call yesterday.

what where sri lanka win odds when they where 242/5
they were 20/1 (on 365 so mug odds) when they were for like 260-6 so im guessing still a big price.
i sympathies with batsman who face spin all day now after playing against an overseas spinner on a ****g awful wicket the other day. Managed to last his last 2 overs he had left but was a struggle.
Terrific test series to say the least, that's how tests should be played. Both the teams attacked and went for the win all through the series and hence no draw. India could have easily won it 3-0. but 2-1 is a fair result. Virat Kohli off the mark.
