The England v Pakistan Third Test which gets underway at the Oval this Wednesday has England as huge favourites to take a winning 3-0 lead in the four match series. Currently England is a best price of 4/7 with Sportingbet, while Pakistan are as long as 6/1 with some Bookmakers and 3/1 to draw.
England of course has already won the first two tests by very wide margins with all players, with the possible exception of Alistair Cook making considerable contributions, whereas Pakistan have failed miserably with the bat, with not one of their top six batsman so far making a fifty. This is the fundamental reason why it is hard to back Pakistan with any real conviction, although punters should remind themselves that money can be made by betting on individual players in either the bowling or batting markets.
England v Pakistan 3rd Test Odds Comparison
Pakistan have called up Mohammad Yousuf to bolster the middle order and he looks a reasonable bet to be top batsman for the tourists with odds of 4/1 from Boylesports. It is fair to expect however, that captain, Salman Butt must surely come good at some point, despite the burden of captaincy, He is also a 4/1 chance with the same Bookmaker to finish as top batsman for Pakistan.

With only Alistair Cook failing so far with the bat, there will be many punters who will be keen to back him at 4/1 to put the record straight this time. Cook is an experienced opener and is very difficult to get out once established at the crease. That said it is Cook’s opening partner, Andrew Strauss who is favourite in this market with odds of 100/30 also available with Boylesports.com
One of the best aspects of the England performances thus far is the performance of their bowlers. All four main bowlers have contributed significantly at some point in the first two tests, but with swing expected at The Oval, it is Jimmy Anderson who is favourite to be England’s top bowler, with odds of just 2/1 with boyles Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann are both at 11/4, with Steven Finn at 3/1.
For Pakistan it is the young left arm paceman, Mohammad Amir who tops the betting with odds of 7/4 while his strike partner, Mohammed Asif is 2/1.
4/7 England
3/1 Draw
