England Odds-On For Series Win
England are 4/6 to beat India at Headingley on Sunday and wrap up the NatWest Series.

The Three Lions moved into a 3-1 lead after their three wicket win at Old Trafford.

Ladbrokes make Ravi Bopara 1/3 to outscore his Manchester batting partner Stuart Broad following their match-winning stand.

The Nottinghamshire bound paceman is 6/4 to take more wickets than Lancashire's James Anderson, who is 5/4 with the tie available at 5/2.

Having lost eight batsman for less than twenty runs on two occasions in the series, seven on one occasion and four the other, Ladbrokes make three to five the 5/6 favourite for India this time.

Despite not having achieved it so far, Kevin Pietersen is the joint 7/2 favourite to top score for the hosts, with Sachin Tendulkar the 3/1 jolly for the tourists.

Chris Gayle's 175 not out in the IPL is possibly the greatest ever T20 innings there is ever likely to be. 175 from 66 balls with 17 sixes and, had he not by his own admission "slowed down" in the middle of his innings, it could have been 200! The West Indies has given the cricket world batsmen like Gary Sobers, Brian Lara, Viv Richards and now Chris Gayle joins the greats of West Indian cricket.
Following his astonishing feat of scoring 100 in just 30 balls, William Hill are offering cricket odds of 25/1 that any professional cricketer manages a faster 100 this year.

William Hill are looking forward to the return of the Indian Premier League, which is now the biggest cricket event of the year.

New Zealand have been cut to win the third test according to Ladbrokes. Following the news that Kevin Pietersen is to miss the match the bookmakers report an upturn in stakes for the home side to defy the cricket betting odds, resulting in their price shortening to 11/2 from 6/1.
