England and Pakistan meet in the second Test Match of the Summer at Edgbaston on Friday with England looking to build on their success from the first test. Andrew Strauss and his men crushed the touring side at Trent Bridge last week and they will be eager to go two up this week, the latest odds are suggesting they will do just that with Paddy Power pricing England as 4/7 favourites to win the second test match and take control of the four match series.

England simply outplayed Pakistan in the first Test match in both batting and bowling while the fielding from the home team was immaculate, the same cannot be said of the tourists who despite showing glimpses of brilliance flattered to deceive once again. One man who has been struggling for England recently though is Kevin Pietersen who has returned to the squad after injury and is looking particularly rusty at the moment. He was clearly finding it difficult to find his off stump in the first test match but he will come good soon, he is the class player in the team and punters can get a good price about him being the Top England Run Scorer at Edgbaston. Pietersen is currently priced at 4/1 with Paddy Power.com and that prove good value as he will come into form at some point with a big score.
England v Pakistan 2nd Test Match Betting Odds
Pakistan are always a difficult team to back with any certainty with their occasional brilliance always mixed in with some pretty mediocre play during the five days of a Test match, they do have some talent though and after adding the experienced Mohammed Yousuf to their batting line-up they will be hopeful of bouncing back. They are the underdogs as you would expect with Paddy Power pricing Pakistan as 9/2 outsiders to win the second test match at Edgbaston, they were soundly beaten by England at Trent Bridge and it would take an almighty effort from them to reverse the form this week.
England are in good spirits at the moment and they will be looking to build on their success of the Summer so far, they are looking stronger with each game with Australia on the horizon and the all-important Ashes series. We take England to win at Edgbaston and take a two nil lead in the four test series with all eyes on Kevin Pietersen as he looks to regain his very best form out in the middle.
