The England v S Africa First Test is underway, with England's decision to put the Proteas into bat immediately paying off with SA Captain, Graeme Smith being dismissed for 0. Bookmakers who will all be making in-running markets available throughout the series, have SA as favourites to win this first test at around 11/8, although cricket punters can back them currently at 6/4 with Boylesports while England are a tasty 5/2 also with Boylesports
After much consideration, England decided that they would go with Ian Bell at number six, which makes the England batting line up look very strong. Jonathan Trott who has made such an impressive start to his England career in all forms of the game will bat at number three and is a 4/1 bet with VC Bet to be England's top batsman in this his first test match on his former home soil.

As far as the four match series goes, it is S Africa who are favourites with odds of 8/11 from Paddy Power, while England who are in confident mood these days look a worthwhile punt at 11/4 with William Hill.
The betting is very close between England's top order of who will emerge as the top batsman over the four match's, with Kevin Pietersen favourite at 3/1 with Ladbrokes, but we like the look of England captain, Andrew Strauss to take the honours here and would back him currently at 10/3 with Totesport.
13/10 SA, Draw 7/4, 11/4 England
Punters are reminded that the odds will change almost ball by ball throughout the four days!
