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 LOL
Another wicket down and now it seems matter of time for England to wrap up this Test and level the series.

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.

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

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.

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.

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  .

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.

Edit: Royse777 Brooks gone and its your win congrats man.

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.

^^ 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. 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.

[AB de Royse777]

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Impossible :-D

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

[Vishnu.Reang]

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.

I thought they could score 1 more run but they are all out for 198 and a brilliant catch from Pope and Ben Stokes is the man of the match as he played an incredible innings with the bat scoring 254 runs and picked up 3 wickets and now the series is leveled. I hope England will include Jofra Archer and James Anderson along with Stuart Broad in the final test.

Very very interesting match. West indies proved that we shouldn't think so high of them. They still are struggling to put their things together. Lol a big gamble played by England and i don't know how were West Indies playing. But now the series becomes very interesting.

Broad really provided a match-winning performance here. He basically destroyed the West Indies team by picking wickets consistently, but the Stokes deserves the MOM in my opinion.

I mentioned this before. They are a very inconsistent team especially in test and ODI formats. England would have won this one even more decisively if it wasn't for the rain interference.

We could not see a match like this if the ICC was to cut short the Test format to 4 days, England could have won the match easily if rain did not interrupt but with that interruption we saw a thrilling finish to the match and for anyone betting on the match or for the fans i would like to see matches like these rather than one sided domination. Final Test starts on 24 th July and i bet on England winning the series with that win and hopefully there will not be any rain interruption deciding the series.
