This morning has seen England overcome Bangladesh by 181 runs to go one up in the two-match Test series.
The second Test gets underway this Saturday from Dhaka and Sky Bet are offering 7/2 for the England captain Alastair Cook to score back-to-back 1st innings centuries. Cook, who was England’s leading batsman in the first innings of the first Test with 173 runs, is 8/13 to outscore Tamim Iqbal (6/5) in the second Test (first innings match bet). Michael Carberry is 4/6 to outscore Imrul Kayes (11/10) and Jonathan Trott is 8/11 to outscore Junaid Siddique (evens).
After getting out on 99 in the first Test, Kevin Pietersen is 4/1 to score a first innings century in the second Test. It’s 6/5 for the South African born cricketer to score a half century in England’s first innings and 4/7 that he outscores Aftab Ahmed (5/4).
Sky Bet’s cricket betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “After getting out for 99 in his first innings of the first Test, Kevin Pietersen will be desperate to build on that when the second Test gets underway and record his first century in Test cricket since he scored 102 against the West Indies in March 2009.”
England are 2/7 to whitewash Bangladesh 2-0 with the visitors 12/1 to level the series (100/30 Draw).
