As I type this, England are all out for 102, with Australia standing at 74-1 and cruising to victory in the fourth Ashes test at Headingly.
There are some great opportunities for live in-play betting on the internet, with some bookmakers even offering a live feed of the event for you to keep track of your bets.
You can still get odds for Australia to win, however they are getting longer and longer as the Aussies notch more runs. They currently stand at 1/11 and this may seem generous considering they are only 35 runs away from England’s total, however there are four innings in a cricket match, and every team has to complete its series of overs. So if Australia cannot bowl England ‘out’ in the next innings, the match will be a draw. However, a draw stands at 14/1 with an England win slightly more likely to happen at 12/1.
Taking part in in-play betting for The Ashes can be quite risky and you have to act fast if you want to take a certain bet, because the situation in cricket can change in an instant.
