England go into this second cricket test battle at Kingsmead in Durban with their sights firmly set on a win against South Africa, after doggedly defying the Proteas in last week's first test. Already the media is building the game up to suit England star batsman, Kevin Pietersen, who seems to be returning to his best form after a very disappointing last 12 months. Bookmakers make Pietersen around the 3/1 mark to be England's top batsman in this match, but punters can back him at a best price of 7/2 with Ladbrokes
As far as this second test match is concerned, South Africa start favourites with odds of 13/8 from Boylesports to win, but the draw, which has been the outcome in the last three test matches played between the two countries at Kingsmead, is also a very popular bet with top odds being 6/5 with bet365. England are a 7/2 option to win with William Hill
South African captain, Graeme Smith quite understandably believes his side has the upper hand after doing everything right in trying to win the First Test. England held on thanks to a stubborn last wicket stand between Paul Collingwood and Graham Onions, which gave them a draw in this four match series, and now they can expect to go on to bigger and better things.

England keep faith with Ian Bell at number six and will be hoping that he and Matt Prior, in at number seven, can knock up a much needed score, particularly if England bat first.
South Africa remain favourites to win the Series with odds of 5/6 with William Hill while England can be backed at a very reasonable 100/30 with Boylesports. A drawn series has odds of 3/1 with Ladbrokes
11/10 Draw, 13/8 S Africa, 3/1 England.
