The market looks like it did for the first Test, and forecast is similar. I try to avoid thinking that a match will be more or less a rerun of the last match, but in this case I think it will.
Which means it's unlikely to be any opportunities to make significant money, and I'll look to trade the draw as per usual.

Can't do anything with these prices. Might be the first Test I don't have a bet on for a very long time.

Can't see a test going by without betting on it but can't see an angle yet, no.

Looks like another waste of time from a betting perspective unless we get some significant rain early on in the game. The forecast looks OK at the moment, so unless England rest their main players it looks like another stroll in the park.

England won't rest too many players I don't think. Even if Stokes misses out, Woakes is arguably a better player. Can't see Anderson and Broad both missing as neither plays much aside from tests and they've not had loads of overs so far this summer. They won't want to miss out on the turkey shoot.

eng v short and WI are massive but impossible to see how they can threaten eng let alone win
and only biblical rain can result in the draw and its not f/c |

Would be helpful if BF put up the 'Test Match End' market.
 Be nice to see some liquidity there. |

Somewhat against my better judgement, I've lumped on Englamd.

I won't be backing England at these prices before a ball has been bowled. Just doesn't seem right at all. Perhaps the risk isn't all that big but neither is the reward.

My initial bets, certainly pre test, are usually intended to set up a trading position rather than necessarily looking for outcome value (obviously it's nice to have both). This just doesn't feel like a game that's likely to see a lot of trading opportunities once WI bat though. As pxb says, you shouldn't assume the forthcoming test will follow the same pattern as the last one (the market does this far too much) but the WI side wasn't only bad for the last test, it's a bad side generally while England is a very good team at home. Obviously it's possible to conceive of circumstances that result in a WI win or a draw but England would probably offer decent outcome value at 1.1, even though that might be a price I'd take the opposite view of and lay looking to trade.
The market isn't taking my 1.15 anyway. The odd thing is that the draw is going out due to reasonable forecast but WI also going out. |

Basically no rain forecast. Draw might go a bit shorter, but if WI bat could be 50s in no time.

Another ruined test match
 waste of time, go back to bed |

Its a hard match to have a bet in, yes England will win, but at 1.11 I just can't be bothered

Westley, surely on a final chance, his technique is poor for test cricket

Great news for the ECB England bat first. If WI cant bat for 95 overs in two innings on an absolute belter, they have no chance against Anderson, Broad & Woakes if we get cloudy Leeds skies.
Can you imagine if this finished by Friday night the lost revenue would be immense. Massive surprise if England dont get 450+, bigger surprise if WI avoid the follow on. Sometimes you have to keep your money in your pocket. |

By:
Can't see odds changing too much till WI bat, WI will drift out assuming England pile on the runs but the other prices won't move too much

bet england @ 1/8
pick up an extra 12.5% in 3 days time simples not my type of bet normally but england are the only value price I can see in this market  |

a 1 day test surely even this windies team is not that bad  |

Is it time to state the obvious that England are over-priced now? I've laid tehm.
