South Africa v England 3rd Test Betting

Three wickets in the final session of day four of the 3rd Test in Cape Town have left England a mountain to climb and South Africa nailed on to win with the bookmakers. Set 466 runs to win by the hosts England were ambling along quite nicely under Andrew Strauss and Alistair Cook, but shortly after reaching a 100 run partnership both players lost their wickets, with Kevin Pietersen the third to fall for just six runs before close of play.

This leaves the betting very much in favour of South Africa, who are a 1/3 chance with Boylesports to take the seven remaining wickets they need to take the match on the final day.

England were trading at 16/1 with Paddy Power shortly before Pietersen lost his wicket but are now a 33/1 chance with the bookmaker. The draw is 11/4 with bet365.

Other markets available to bet on are the top English batsman and top South African bowler, with Jonathan Trott and Dale Steyn heading the respective markets at 6/4 and 2/1 with Stan James. If England can avoid defeat it will take at least two from Trott, Collingwood and Bell to return with three figure scores. Morne Morkel looks the value at 9/2 in the top bowler market. The tall seamer took 'five for' in the first innings and can get the bounce to trouble the England batsmen.
