England vs West Indies 3rd Test Day 3 Betting Tips
With the Three Lions putting together a stellar 1st innings total in the 3rd test of the West Indies Tour, you can still get excellent odds on England to secure a test series victory. Thanks to Strauss' epic stand for 160+ and a determined 2nd day partnership from Kevin PIetersen and Paul Collingwood the tourists have set an excellent total for Chanderpaul, Gayle & Co. The West Indies batsmen will have made themselves few friends having taken the 2nd day to huck the ball bodyline at the English batsmen. England are currently listed just above evens to win an outright victory at 21/20. A draw is still considered the favoured outcome listed at 5/6. West Indies are a full 20/1 to secure the victory- a feat which would likely take a combined total off 800 or so runs. The English batsmen continue to tick past lunch on the 2nd day. In terms of the Day 3 wagering, Chanderpaul is favoured to bat above 60. 0-30 pays 11/8, 31-60 pays 10/3 and 61 runs or more pays above evens at 5/4. He was sent out for nearly 30 during the last test and you know he's due to score a good haul. Gayle is favoured to perform well, but not quite to the same level. 0-30 pays 6/5, 31-60 pays 3/1 and 61 runs or more pays 6/4. Identical odds are available for Ramnaresh Sarwan. The Windies batsmen will be licking their chops to run up a big score, but depending on how long they actually stay at the creases, they could find themselves without a second innings if England put together a truly massive total.
