West Indies couldn't make 200. They are bowled out for 198. England has won the match by a massive margin of 113 runs. A fantastic performance by the England team, after the humiliation they had during the first. Stuart Broad just proved that the decision to drop him for the first match was a mistake. Jofra Archer is going to be included for the 3rd test, and that probably means that Sam Curran needs to sit out.

They need to survive another 19 overs.
Impossible :-D

Interesting market:
WI 2nd innings to score over/under 199.50 runs :-P

Alzarri Joseph is gone, after playing a reckless shot against Ben Stokes. Now England needs just one more wicket, with Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel at crease. They need to survive another 19 overs.

This seems to be impossible for WI to draw the match from here. England team will be happy that they fought back in this test match and came back despite the day being washed out due to rain. England team and the fans will be celebrating today with this win.

They need to survive another 19 overs. Now it is almost certain that England will level the series 1-1. They managed to fight back, despite a lot many overs lost to rain interruption. Now the last test (Old Trafford) is going to be the series decider.

^^ 3 more wickets and 22 overs left for the day, Jason Holder has to play an extraordinary innings taking the strike most of the time to win the match in a situation like this and the rest of the players have a career batting average of 12, 6 and 4 and it says a lot about how difficult of a situation they are in to save this match. I was in two minds placing a bet for draw but luckily i thought of letting it go.

Holder is gone and they just need two more wickets.
Poor Holder lost his patience and throw his wicket not good from him as he need to lead from front good fight from England and they have good reward back in series with this good victory.

Holder out!
No hope left for WI. I think I am close to celebrate too :-P

I got an odd of 1.20 when placed the bet but before holder was gone the odd was 1.35+ and even in one stage it was 1.44 for England.

Holder is gone and they just need two more wickets. Dom Bess was getting overshadowed by the pace bowlers, but he managed a gem and it got one of the most crucial wickets in this match. On paper, 22 overs remain. But it needs to be seen whether they will get that many, given the deteriorating sunlight. BTW Roach can dug in for sometime, if the situation demands so.

Okay 0.05 BTC on England.
Wish me luck you all punters :-D

Best of luck  Grin Grin
Test cricket is still alive after long break we have two test matches and both was on top as both teams have equal chance to win and better team win at the end statical right now all three options available and any one can take this match but West Indies is on back foot just because of Stokes good bowling before tea and now they have very fair chance to level series but Holder and Brooks still doing good resistance now 33 overs to end and good fight is going on in Manchester.
Brooks out.

One more step further for me to make some good money. I am gambling after long break so some winning will be nice to have a good start. 29 overs left and 3 wickets to go, at this stage I can hope for a win for me.

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  Grin.

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.

143/6 Dorwich gone now its end for West Indies as 41 overs left in a day and they have last pair on crease good fight back by England with good strategy Stockes is key man for them in this match.

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

And what if we see these two bring the winning for WI and England pay the price of underestimating the WI team. :-D
Historic win for Windies then... Grin
Its 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.

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  Grin
