If I lose this then this will be 2nd time losing a big stake while favoring England. Last time it was England Vs Sri Lanka in the World cup.
England just need to pick 4 more wickets to win the match and they have plenty of overs to pick those wickets and hopefully you will win the bet, but the odds were low when i checked so thought of skipping that. During world cup i had some disastrous picks as Pakistan won against England and Bangladesh toppling South Africa and it was a series of misses which i like to forget Wish me luck you all punters :-D

Edit:
This was the match: https://www.cricketworldcup.com/match/8218
I clearly remember England was hot favorite after Sri Lanka losing some quick wickets and the odd was below 1.20. I could not think twice to get this odd to make some money for a sure match (in my calculation). But Sri Lanka came back strong and won the match. I think I lost over 0.056 BTC on that match.

Blackwood out!
I was so tempted to pick an odd for WI and if we would have five more minutes without a wicket then I might put some bet for WI to win. Good thing that WI lost Blackwood now LOL

In a way you got lucky because might have lost the bet if placed on WI. I had also thought that we might see some T20 style towards the end if both batsmen would have been on crease for another 20 -25 overs. But unfortunately, Blackwood is now out so mostly England should be able to win it.

I am definitely lucky. I was considering to put a bet of 0.002 BTC at-least LOLAnother wicket down and now it seems matter of time for England to wrap up this Test and level the series.

~snip~
And what if we see these two bring the winning for WI and England pay the price of underestimating the WI team. :-DIts Test Match so anything is possible, situation changes here according to session so open for any result except Draw.
Edit
Holy shit.... Wicket for stokes hahaha
Windies need 175 runs to win or survive 42 overs
England need 5 wickets to level the series.

50 overs 211 runs. Odd for WI is 33/1
This is tempting.
This is tempting.
Nope, they are following defensive mindset since last night and 4 quick wicket not helping their cause so it would be pretty stupid if they follow one-day style batting. You can notice England using 3 slips when seamers are bowling and using short leg +slip during spin, so England is in attacking mode and Windies is in defensive.
Situation could change if Windies opens their arm and hit some boundaries here and there, they are trying to avoid this so far.
For spectator perspective It would be more interesting if Blackwood and Brooks add 80-100 more runs in next 30 overs, and then 2 quick wickets .
Juicy situation i would say hehe.
Edit : now some fielding changes- 2 slips instead of 3.
arghh back to 3 again.

Is anyone thinking that WI is chasing for a win?
6 wickets remaining, and they need 240 runs from 60 overs. A one-day style batting may bring them a win :-D

at least use the ticket you have and if you're lucky then make it a bonus that can get a lot of results whereas if nothing works out of your predictions then relax and try again another time 6 wickets remaining, and they need 240 runs from 60 overs. A one-day style batting may bring them a win :-D
England need to pick up 6 more wickets to win the match and Jermaine Blackwood might play the devils advocate in this match too to prevent England from winning the match. I think England did the right thing in taking the lead over 300 before declaring and now West Indies need 224 more runs to win the match with around 57 overs remaining.

Haha I think this was pretty much the plan that England had. Make it like a One-day for West Indies and pick wickets in meantime. It's better if West Indies don't fall for this trap given that we have already seen how quickly wickets fell in the previous innings. They just don't have a very good batting after the number 4. But now I have a feel that West Indies will just ruin things for them and lose this match. England can do anything in 60 overs. I really appreciate Joe Root's captaincy that he was bold enough to take this risk. 6 wickets remaining, and they need 240 runs from 60 overs. A one-day style batting may bring them a win :-D

Edit: Wow, three down 
Looks like England is going to win.
Too early to predict something yet. Still 74 overs left and WI needs 287 runs. A draw is very much possible from here if WI starts playing defensive from now. Looks like England is going to win. West Indies could pull off something insane here if they play like how they played in the 1st match. Draw is still the best move here, but they could be looking for a win here. I don't see any hope for England here unless they bowl really well.
3 down, so I think they will slow down now and will aim for a draw.
Draw market is tempted yet? 6/1 was very much for me on the other day.
7 wickets to go with and WI still needs 287 runs. There is minimum 74 overs game still pending if we do not have any sort of rain or so then WI still must bat for 74 overs to ensure the draw. So, from here England must fancy their chances if they can take 1-2 quick wickets from here.

Edit : target 312 runs in 85 overs
West Indies could pull off something insane here if they play like how they played in the 1st match. Draw is still the best move here, but they could be looking for a win here. I don't see any hope for England here unless they bowl really well.My prediction is still a draw currently. Rain has ruined the game for England. If there wasn't any rain interference, the English team would probably be mentally preparing for the 3rd match by now.
