Been a great series so far and I reckon India are looking the better team.

England at 1.98 look very short and lay material.

Be interesting to see what the toss outcome brings.

Ironically the history suggests putting the other team in. We won't know until tomorrow but I want to see a Captain electing to bat!

I have built a not insignificant position laying England with a small punt on the draw. I believe or hope this will be recoverable if it goes against. I am still looking for a Hail Mary draw play should we lose plenty of wickets in the morning. I have a feeling this might be a spankingly good batting wicket after lunch from Day 2

Agree about potentially being a road on day 2, be interesting to see if England bring the boundaries in again.
As a England fan hoping Woakes's unbelievable record at the home of cricket continues, otherwise think we will struggle to take 20 wickets again.
Have started with a small lay of the draw if it crashes will probably top it up.

Sportsbook going 2.5 there's a boundary in the first over of the game.

It’s lost its tinge. It is definitely a bat first pitch. Well grassed so who really knows until we see the ball fly

India out to 2.78. Taken that with Bumrah back. Archer could backfire on England not having played much of late.

Good luck all.

Run line 378, which, I would guess but second innings will shirley be higher.

Let’s see what happens but happy to have some draw in play already

It's the complete opposite of pace and bounce

tbf Stokes can't demand pace and bounce a few days before the game... and expect it to just happen
I think it was just a bit of kidology

True. It might be an issue here at Lords tbh. The pitch has been losing pace, which, is a real shame.

I would not surprised to see England score in excess of 400. Need to give it time and see what happens when the shine comes off

No idea of how this game might develop or if it will take spin. A lot of dangers for both sides here. England could bat until tea tomorrow but if they don’t India might bat until end of play Saturday.

My prediction is two big firsts innings totals although as Nasser says it is nibbling and may do more as the laquer comes off

Really hard to call this

Wow look at the draw price. I did top up but only by a small amount. Was hoping for a couple of quick wickets and going in again.

There could be two monster first innings scores here. Will keep my eye on further England lays as they pile on. I am opposing @ 1.98 so will nit be back in the game until Saturday, which, is good as I can enjoy the cricket

Laquer off the ball

Certainly wouldn't be laying the draw at that price considering it's 1-1 and game 3 so that increases the mindset of not losing as a desired option , lose here and 1-2 down with 2 to play makes winning the series a mountain.

How much lower can England go?

I can’t see India being in a winning position for a very long time if at all.

Early days though. Sit and enjoy
