The Second Test odds for the England v S Africa betting test match has the tourists as favourites, despite the first test ending in a draw. The first test draw at Lords was in many ways the result that had to be expected. The pitch was slow and remained in pretty good condition throughout the five days. England had played very well for the first three of those days however, scoring a huge a total and bowling the South Africans out in a day. However, if the tourists are anything at all they are fighters and played out the final two days in reasonably relaxed style with three of their batsmen scoring centuries, proving that their batting is as good as it has ever been.

Headingly is now the stage for the second test and England should feel stronger with the inclusion of Freddie Flintoff in the 12 man squad. It will be a difficult decision to drop any of the players for him but perhaps Sidebottom's injury might prove to be the easy way out for the selectors. Besides, Flintoff is easily the best bowler available and should take his place regardless, even if he bats down the order. Whatever the decision, the match should at least produce a result and is a difficult one to call. The last eight tests played at Headingly has produced a result, with the winners of the toss winning six times. The two teams look evenly matched and the perceived threat of the South African bowlers looks nothing more than speculation. Of the frontline English batsmen it was only Vaughan the Captain who failed against them and some say that the ball that dismissed him was a ‘belter'. Maybe that is so and Vaughan will bounce back on his home ground this week. Vaughan is around 5/1 to be England's top batsman in the first innings at Headingly. The match odds are 8/5 South Africa, 2/1 England, 8/5 the draw.
