This market gives you the opportunity to challenge their prediction of the score when the next wicket falls.
Here's an illustration. With England at 70 for 2 on a seaming pitch, SportingIndex might forecast that the fall of the next wicket will be approximately 30 runs later. As a result their prediction would have been 98 - 102.
If you believed England would consolidate and build a decent third wicket partnership, you would bet high (buy) at 102 runs, for the stake of your choice, say £5 a run. However, if England lost their third wicket the very next ball with the score still on 70. So, if you had gone high at 102, you would have lost 32 times your stake: (70 - 102) x your stake = -32 x £5 = -£160. On the other hand had England put on 62 for the third wicket, you would have made 30 times your stake: (132 - 102) x your stake = 30 x £5 = £150.
