On a wave of public support, the England (8/1) team returned to the country following the recent turbulent events in Mumbai and will no doubt be looking to get on with the business of playing cricket against a favoured India (11/10) side currently ranked as the third-best test nation in the world. While India remain favourites the possibility of a draw (10/11) always lingers, which would rely on the English batmen exhibiting some staying power in the face of an impressive home bowling line-up. Following their lacklustre performances and subsequent whitewash of five straight defeats, England will be hoping that their tour of India isn't entirely wasted. While only consisting of two matches, the test series which rounds off the visit to the subcontinent will be a key indicator of both sides' standing in the long form of the game. India are at 1/2 to win and 2/1 to claim the series 2-0, while an England whitewash is put at a lengthy 33/1.

After a succession of strong displays in the recent one-day matches, Virender Sehwag is joint favourite with touring captain Kevin Peterson (both 6/1) to be top run-scorer in the match. Elsewhere, Yuvraj Singh, who claimed 138 not out in the 1st ODI back in Rajkot in November, is 16/1 to have a better knock than anyone else over the two innings. One area where England appear to have the upper hand is with their captain's batting prowess – Kevin Pietersen is 2/1 to score the most runs in the series and 3/1 to top the list in the first innings of the opening test. He's also 11/10 to notch up a first innings half-century and 3/1 to claim a full hundred at the first time of asking. The odds appear to be stacked against them but with the barmy army and a renewed sense of purpose spurring them on, England will be confident and looking to leave Chennai in a buoyant mood after a result against their talented opposition.
