Weather forecast grim for the first 2 days. Will we get a result in the remaining 3 days?
Eventually got on the draw around 3.5. Should have just lumped when it was in the 5s.

I'll have to lay India. After I look at some ground history that is.
Ages since Lanka last played tests in India, surprising as Pak have been blackballed and Windies were too after that cancellation a few years ago. So this ground is seem friendly more than spin friendly. I'll have to lay India based on my view the draw will be 1.4 if these forecasts hold up.
That India have won 3 times by an innings in last 5 tests here (inc Saffers & Eng) gives pause for thought but I'll have to lay India, I can't not lay India with that horror forecast. Que Sera, Sera!
I think there is a decent chance of a result in 3 x 98 over days. However, light could be a problem at this time of year.
It wasn't a huge lump but there is a site maintenance outage so they just wanted to be matched.
Got some more on the draw just below 2. Didn't know about the outage.
Horrible move on India AFTER I layed them. Feeling very aggrieved right now.
I will have to bring out my old averaging tactic!
My scratch price is now India 2.14 ...done well in last hour!
I would not want to be batting in overcast conditions.
Very nice scenes in the market. Exactly 1 hour ago I was very worried when I was laying India in the low 1.80's
market been all over the shop. 2.6 overnight down to 1.85ish half an hour ago now back to 2.3 again
Looks like intermittent rain today. We could get some play under overcast skies. Not a day to bat.
Market acting like it will be a complete washout!
Just looking at the market I might get the impression that its gonna start raining very soon if it hasn't already started.
It has stopped raining!.............that is what the market is telling me............although wait it's retracing! so maybe not.
No one can question my dedication, spent the best part of last 8 hours staring at the market. That is part of my edge, I will do what others won't. Tonight it has payed off.
I LTD last night at 1.87, obviously with play now underway I could take a big green but it seems wrong to do so at this early stage.
I did say intermittent rain and not a day to bat.
Cricbuzz thinks that's probably it for the day. With bad light i suspect they are right.

It's all about forecast for tomorrow now, I've had a marathon session here & I'm ready for kip.
I'm all green, mostly on the draw. I'll decide tomorrow whether to move my draw green.
I've levelled out my green. Weather looks reasonably OK today,
I notice I got matched on Aus at 2.72 when I was asleep about 105 minutes ago, whatever caused that I would like a replay.
A couple of plunges on the draw this morning that have ran out of steam, I supposed precipitated by a few rain drops falling. What I need is sustained rain and a stoppage.
England is the only cricket nation where you can use weather sites to gain info and trust them.

I will admit to having buggered up my position here but it can come good again.
OK here is a stoppage! it got plenty of my orders filled, prolonged stoppage please!
This current draw plunge is pleasing, we might get a sustained stoppage, have backed draw as high as 5's today.
don't see there being more then another 30 overs today
Yep lets have draw odds on!...all the ingredients are there, rain, bad light, atrocious over rate, atrocious run rate, a pitch that may be better to bat on when Lanka bat.
thought the draw would already have been closer to odds on
Tempted to back the draw some more .....will be raining again by time they get the covers off......think we are done for the day
Finally my Draw lay of 2.0s has been eaten a day and a half after it was submitted, reducing my red to a level I'm comfortable with.

Reducing Red on India that is, well green on the other 2.
Yeah I agree no play around 1.6
If that draw price reaches evens I might start to be suspicious, might put myself on dodge alert.
Wasn't around yesterday and missed the good prices on SL - cursing myself for not placing some drip pre-sets. Did manage to end up with a small India green from overnight tick-trades and then got a lay of India off at evens this morning to leave a modest red on them. I really don't want to cover at these levels though. 5s would be good but improving weather might have stuffed that one up for now.
This market is irrational, if the weather has improved batting conditions will also improve, 98 overs nothing like that will be bowled in a day, Indian backers must believe Lanka are gonna be bowled out twice for 200 runs.
New plunge on draw as play resumes on day 3, I'd call that a correction.
All my green is on the draw....feel like I will be mugging myself off if I lay at the current price
In a very safe place now 
that draw price was bonkers overnight and I took advantage.

draw great price now pitch seems easier to bat on only danger if sri lanka get bowled out forr very little the market will expect india to have a lot better 2 inn
Heavy draw pressure again, wonder if there is some rain on the radar.
Prob due too the fact they won't get all the overs in
I've levelled up........Lanka can win this now!
All 3 outcomes back in play. Deeply relieved I levelled up 
Prob around 150 overs left in the test match.......struggling to see an Indian win
It never ceases to amaze me how idiotic cricket authorities can be. Did I hear this right - India has only one time-zone across the whole nation, so even though this ground is far to the East and therefore more prone to bad light at a given time of evening, and also benefits from dawn coming up much earlier in the day, they don't deem it appropriate to start matches here an hour or so earlier than at other grounds? That's totally insane!!!! WT actual F is wrong with these people?
India at 8s???
2 days left.
They have to score 250 runs approx and take 16 wickets in that time.
Should be 20s.

Best hope for India is having 50 overs at Sri lanka on final day.
I suppose if India go into T20 mode they could still win this with a Lanka collapse, the ball might start to misbehave at some point. Would be sensational if it happens.
Kohli wil declare tomorrow after India have gone into T20 mode, Virat is no Alastair Cook or Andrew Strauss.
Free scoring Shikhar out and Pujara in, that damps down any prospect of an Indian win.
I have not watched a ball of day 5 but just noticed the draw is 1.12.............always on lookout for the sensational to occur.
Kohli has declared! .............Lanka 1.12 to knock these off.
Correction 40's
Staying up all night for a week and surviving on about 3 hours of sleep does that to ya.

Might have a small recreational punt on India while keeping my hard earned green intact.
With the light, Lanka will need to go at 6 an over, and that's not happening.
Money Buyers on the draw having kittens right now. 3 Down!
This should be an arrow through the heart of 4 day test matches.
It’s only 4 pm in India why are they rushing them off?
India has same time zone for the whole country, if Calcutta was on the west we would get them all in.
They never put clocks forward or back either.
