After their staggering comeback in Cardiff, England are now odds-on favourites to wrap up the series win a win against Sri Lanka at Lords in the second Test on Friday 3rd June. England faced an uphill task in a heavily rain-affected first Test after Sri Lanka posted a first innings score of 400. However, a double century from Jonathan Trott and centuries from Alastiar Cook and Ian Bell took England to an impressive tally of 496, after which they declared. England, without the injured Jimmy Anderson, displayed a bowling masterclass at the end of the final days play as they sensationally got the visitors all out for 82.

As a result of this extraordinary victory in the first Test, England are 8/13 favourites with Coral to take an unassailable 2-0 series lead against Sri Lanka in the second Test at Lords. The bookmakers have Sri Lanka available at 13/2 to level the series, with the draw priced at 2/1.

Englands player of the year, Jonathan Trott, is available at 4/1 to score a century in the first innings.

Ian Bell was also in good form in Cardiff, notching 103 not out. However, Kevin Pietersen was once again disappointing as he recorded a pitiful score of 3 as he was out for lbw.
