Pak obviously favs in the UAE against a weak Lankan team. A fair %age of draws here, which indicates we can expect a flat deck and runs early.
Herath might surprise later in the match. I'll be backing the draw over 5.

Lanka shortening. Don't know why. I don't fancy their chances at all. Even with Pak batting a bit weak.
|

By:
Lanka bat on a flat deck. Wouldn't mind a couple of early wickets.
|
|
By:
If Lanka can go into the 2nd innings about equal with Pak, I'll start to like their chances.
|
|
By:
Steady start by SL, 32/0. Better than I expected.
|
|
By:
Surprised by the draw price here: SL progressing turgidly but 110/3 off 49 overs looks quite good for a slowly achieved fairly decent score. As I'm already a bit strung out on draw I can't take any more on though and am being dangerously tempted to pull draw lays looking for tastier prices later.
|
|
By:
Market clearly doesn't believe in SL batting at all. The draw didn't drop much when they'd got to 32/0 off about 16 overs either.
|

Draw price eventually noticed the action (or lack thereof). I missed most of my second top in the high 5s but have a reasonably decent position with £400 red results and £4.3k green draw. If SL tough this out well into tomorrow afternoon I wouldn't be surprised to see draw odds on at some later stage.
|
|
By:
A bit late to the party but did have a back of SL at 3.2. Haven't seen game at all but three spinners against team batting last must give them a chance.
|
|
By:
Yep, not unreasonable Charlie. SL plenty of chance to get a decent score first up. Will probably take them a while if so but that's fine as will want the track to wear.

When I looked on the 365 Stream it seemed not delayed making the match odds Tick Nickable, I'll have another look tomorrow.

Pakistan are in a heap of trouble which is unusual for them out in the desert.....Herath is gonna wreak havoc later on.
|
|
By:
A drop just now in Pakistan price from 7.8 all the way down to 6 for no reason that I could see. Draw move as I type.

Lanka's tail often wags 550+ incoming!

By:
A rare foray into the side markets is probably gonna be a loser my 550 not incoming now!

i can see draw going here at 1.55 soon,,any other can see?

Jog on pecker..u done ur nuts here..

pakistan too short and draw to long
|

By:
At 153/2, and Pak going at barely 2 an over since lunch, can't believe Pak are only 3.1 to lay. No sign of any tempo from these 2, and one feels that if they do pick it up it won't be without risk to the turning ball. New ball in 15 overs, should be interesting, but at this rate it'll be midway through afternoon session before Pak draw level!

Ayt, is the heat getting to you..........
 take a chill pill bruv.. |

the stream on 365 aint there today!

What’s everyone’s thoughts? Poor batting this morning. Pitch in my opinion is playing the same as the first three days. Sri Lanka going to have a lead of 50 ish runs going into the third innings. Score 2.5-3 an over and have a combined lead of 200 by end of play today? Then we might see them declare lunchtime tomorrow and let the three spinners have a go at them.
Other than a Sri Lanka collapse or T20 Style innings and Pakistan able to slow the over rate down with mostly quicks I’m struggling to see how the draw is still so high? |
|
By:
That tail shows that the pitch is still playing true, unless we see a Sri Lanka collapse this is almost done in my opinion. 100 lead by close.
|
|
By:
While draws do occur, it can be dangerous to overestimate the possibility of one in any Test.
|
|
By:
Market probably about right and we are twice as likely to see a Pak win as a draw. But might be close.
|
|
By:
i fully expect pak to wrap this match up with minimum fuss
|
|
By:
Hmm, was in a monster position earlier this test but sold my draw too early and missed the opportunity to lay it very low. My last four bets, placed while SL still batting were lay draw 4.5, 2.7; lay Pak 4.7, lay draw 2.3 (from a large draw green, has to be said). Draw lays look likely to play out well but I really need a SL Goldilocks score here then Herath to do his thing.
|
|
By:
You might get lucky,fs. A 140 chase could be tricky.
|
|
By:
You've got 2 notoriously dodgy teams - Bangladesh and SL - Both predictably collapsing on flat wickets today. |
|
By:
All we need now is Pakistan to join in the fun and we've got a hat-trick.

Welcome to the party Pakistan

Pak 4 down. 44 overs to go.
|
|
By:
This is the ground where in 2012 Eng had a target of 145 and were bowled out!
|
|
By:
Pakistan are very short here.
One more wicket and it's one recognised batsman and the tail left to score about 100 on a very tricky wicket.... |
|
By:
Surprised the market hasn’t got the draw more in play than it is. The scoring rates this test have been funereal and still 100 needed with risk taking very unappealing.
Oh fifth wicket. Safraz won’t die wondering. |
|
By:
With 5 Pak wickets down, I'd have Lanka as favs.
|
|
By:
I'll keep my small green where it is, not gambling on this outcome from here at Pak 5 down!
