looks another challenging surface for batsmen but less grass than in the 1st test when they did the side by side comparison for day 1...
Windies have gone with only Chase as a spin option

32c + and clear skies seeing off any pitch demons and players alike..these two barely looked in any trouble since lunch apart from cramp for Fawad...
windies keeper already off with cramp..Fawad now follows

Day 2: WI 7.6 Pak 1.75 draw 3.3
Bit more cloud around today - possibility of some weather interruptions but better overheads for bowling at times...ball did a more in the final session on day 1 after the clouds rolled in though partly windies upped the intensity after Fawad retired hurt with cramp (will presumably return at fall of next wicket)
Pak inns runs currently 356-364 with a well known spread company.

pakistan players warming up, some dark clouds still around...
Thanks Brentford, not watching but laid Pak at 1.68
bit concerning as even the lighter stuff created an issue on some parts of the ground...
early start was scheduled today, clear skies at the moment....forecast pretty good...but the much vaunted drainage not living up to billing as we have an inspection despite dry conditions this morning
Loving this,smashed the draw at 1.9,and have kept I am lay, I thought it not difficult to anticipate and remember 2016 well and fondly.
Will have more rain and light to deal with.

any further rain in the game going to be a serious problem if it takes this long to dry out that one area when it's 32c and sunny !
windies well within their rights to say this is unfit imo...
and now we get to enjoy one of test match cricket's long established traditions....lots of people just standing around a lot 
wasn't there a 1st class game where they agreed to bowl only from one end ?
might be an idea for BF to turn the market in play....
very dubious that, there have been many matches over the years where the market hasn't been turned in play promptly - I never recall trades/bets being cancelled..quite lucky for them that nothing significant happened until after the market reopened correctly...would have been some very disgruntled punters..
thanks for highlighting it brentford, was looking at my screen for an extra bet thinking I'd dropped a boolack
no worries, have you ever encountered that happening before in a cricket market which hasn't been turned inplay ?

Not personally but I did once encounter a glitch where bets would match but the red and green figures didn't reflect the new position so you had to guess what your actual exposure was. It was a complete nightmare. BF never admitted the glitch ever happened, let alone try to explain it. I think I got round it by keeping a duplicate BF page open in a different browser. The problem persisted for a day or two if I remember rightly.
me neither, the red and green figures on my trading software were wrong and the cancelled trade was still in the matched bet list, had to restart it. the betfair green figure in the browser was right tho.
Just like how Test cricket betting used to be in the old days.
appreciate the feedback..
yep, been some very decent test match markets of late VV...it's the one way trains that tend to be the struggle for me at least..

Have tuned in today and hoping for more runs than this,
Really don't want I am Dec first thing tomorrow or tonight
should be bowling tonight now, they struggled to force the pace a bit yesterday but no reason they shouldn't be 300 ahead and have time for a couple of overs tonight...will surely risk a slim chance of losing in order to give best chance of squaring the series.
Pecker - how the hell does your predictive text consistently come up with "I am" in place of "Pak"? That's so weird.
could be 350+ and 40 mins bowling if they don't calm this down...
STOP PRESS! "The Whodathunkit Weekly Digest" Cover Story - Windies in Calypso Collapso Shocker!
not often you see a dec set up at over 7 an over from the get go...Pak been excellent...windies ...er.. not so much
even more aggressive dec than one might have expected..
Gone in blind on the draw and doing the rain dance. Will add to that draw as soon as Joseph is out. Also took cover on WI just in case they are too stupid to realise they should not win this match. Braithwaite the key for me. Get him and the game is up. Small chance of rain in the afternoon but things can change quickly. Speculative punt. Paks should win.
just can't see WI being able to bat all day tho' could be one or two good stands..Pak bowling well
doubt WI will capitulate to 120 all out tho'
odds on to get at least 130

Not watched anything yet tbh. Just fancy a hit and hope. KB is a good batsman and can hold an end up. I dont have much faith in WI to hand to but sometimes stuff happens!
forecast looks decent, satellite very clear at the moment...every chance of getting most of the overs in...light could be an issue at the ar$é end of the day but yesterday under sunny skies they could have played at least another half hour had it been available in the written playing conditions..
beware of the market inplay after yesterday as well...

Presumably there is no way WI can win this. Brathwaite is a snail. 2.57 an over though?
wouldn't discount it WD, looked reasonably comfortable last evening which made the run out even dafter...would want more like 16's personally though...
some of Joseph's shots suggest him a massive under achiever with the bat to date...seen him play some glorious shots
Get this under 200 by lunch and we have a ball game! Not much happening with the ball!
Joseph looks decent!
Joseph looks decent!
Medium paced trundlers. I can bat against this although Shaheen did swing it !
I think he can bat Brent. it is just he is a fast bowler with the intelligence of a fast bowler!
you probably right on that.... re Abbas he seems to have an uncanny knack of 'looking' innocuous..

Serious bounce at 123 kph!
I do not think the WI will have the stomach for this. I may look for an out. I just hope they get a few runs and the markets scramble a bit.
Pakistan to win this. I am sure. I mean the wicket should be placid after rolling.

I saw this Bonner bat once. He looks decent imho
91 overs remaining. Not sure why I equalised against Pakistan!
Such a long way to go here. WI need to block and wear down their bolwers. I think they only have 3 and a half seamers and a spinner who they didn't need in the first innings?
CB is their best batsman who can occupy. That was a dolly!. I hope Pakistan are made to pay for that!
yep, that really would have been it I suspect ..shocker
Dreadful shot by Chase who can also bat and stay around for a bit.
windies come in from 30 to 17 in one over and suitably punished...
Are there clouds coming in from behind the Blue Mountains?
no silver lining in any clouds 4 the Windies,i'm afraid
a few whispy bits and pieces -not sure they'd have much rain in them though
No you are right. Just hoping. Need to get these two to lunch!
Goddam Blackwood!
Just before lunch and I had got to a green! Possible rain during lunch and a market cover up job!
There are clouds in dem der hills even if unlikely to drop a load they are worrying for Pakistan backers except they must think they are in clover already!

Not radar, pictures. Clouds out to sea and behind the Blue Mountains.
More in hope! Very sunny on the Marina webcam!

It's beyond me how folk don't pick Adil s googly
You can't see the ball, it's the googly
If you see it, it's not the googly

Always seem to lose a wicket just before my bet matches. Gaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!
Sometimes you just get wrong-footed by one crucial position taken at a critical juncture that you never quite recover from.
Missing the early draw highs was my first mistake. Note to self:- never miss the start of a Test.

Managed to trade my way out of disaster for a small profit. Test cricket can be so forgiving at times.
