Be interesting to see the Windies tactics today - they don't strike me as a team that will play for a draw. If there's a total needed, their DNA is to go for it

Overcast, but no rain in Leeds.

Jimmy will love this, and it will spin as well.

I always like to be with bowlers on day 5. This is just gravy.

Why would u think that ?

If bowlers have best conditions, they will take wkts, and draw becomes less likely.

I backed eng, and have continued to do so.. thou, admit was getting twitchy.

Wi 49-1

Eng 1.39 (been 1.7)

Can I ask are you still backing England? Can't watch the game and thinking possible draw becoming likely?

These games have in the past, had a predictable pattern.

I personally, can't have the draw onside (3.5) seems far too low, as there is no weather, and a low scoring rate required.

Eng may bowl negatively/Wi bat defensively as the afternoon wears on .. so, maybe etc .. but think there will be a result.

My position is largely with Eng, small win WI, small loss on draw.
