ENGLAND VS INDIA FIRST TEST - FINAL DAY - BET ON A RESULT

In what is turning out to be one of the most exciting test match finishes of all time, there is no way we would be denied of a result today as the final day play progresses. This match has seen some of the biggest action in terms of international interest as well as betting interest from punters worldwide England had started out with odds as high as 12/1 with some UK bookmakers before the start of the match and India were the outright favourites. The betting odds since then have seen huge fluctuations with each match day. At one time in the match England had completely swapped the odds with India after Indian batting collapsed on the second day. After England set India 387 to chase in the 4th innings, no cricket pundit was ready to back India with a chance. However, what struck next was something the English team was not expecting. With all the security arrangements in place, they still could not stop the terror called Virender Sehwag from striking.Sehwag started out in a fashion as if there was no tomorrow and soon had England running for cover. His 68 ball 83 has taken out the advantage that England were having and has now placed the match in balance. Subsequently, most of the UK bookmakers had cut the odds of both the teams to same with one of th bookmakers going to an extent of offering same odds for all three results of the match. There has not been a match in recent times which would have given the odd compilers sleepless nights like this one has. It has all been left to the final days play and which team would be able to hold its nerves while attacking at the same time. Indians are good at that under M.S.Dhoni and they do hold the advantage going into last days play but at the same time it would require India to score their highest 4th innings score to win in India. All depends on some early wickets for England today while India just have to score around 3 per over without loosing wickets. The onus lies on England to attack if they want to win this match. If they do not attack, they might not get any wickets. England struck early in the morning when they got Rahul Dravid out caught behind to Andrew Flintoff's bowling. Sachin Tendulkar has since joined Gambhir in the middle and the partnership between them would hold the key to the match today. They are going strong at this moment as the score reads 171/2 and Monty Panesar has just been introduced into the attack.
