South Africa will go into this third test match against England at Newlands knowing that anything other than victory would mean that they cannot win the four test series. England on the other hand with a 1-0 series lead can afford to go into the match with great confidence. Currently the betting favours a South African win with odds of 6/4 from Ladbrokes, while England are a reasonably priced 9/4 with Boylesports.
Newlands has proven to be a very tough venue for any visiting side with South Africa only losing here four times since 1970, each of those defeats was against Australia. They have won seven of their last ten matches on this ground and have thrashed England on each of their last three visits.

The venue is certainly one where draw backers should consider the lay as their has only been two drawn tests at Newlands in the last nineteen matches played here. It is a venue that usually helps the quick bowlers which is why England's James Anderson looks a worthwhile punt to be England's Top Bowler with odds of 9/4 with bet365. Although not in the best of form, Dale Steyn is the same price, 9/4 also with bet365, to be top bowler for the South Africans.
Over the years Newlands Test matches have been dominated by the opening batsmen, particularly in the first innings, so punters are advised to look to South African skipper, Graeme Smith as the most likely top run scorer for South Africa with odds of 7/2 with Ladbrokes, while for England, Andrew Strauss looks a good bet at 4/1 with Totesport to be England's top batsman.
6/4 South Africa, 7/4 Draw, 2/1 England.
