The first two tests went largely as expected with England meeting minimal resistance from the West Indies top order. It's following that trend that I hope will pay dividends in the final test with England to have the highest first innings opening partnership @ 1/2 (Various).
Strauss and Cook have put on an average of 45 for the first wicket against the Windies who in response have managed a meagre opening average of just under 16 in the series so far. I think their top order will be no better off with the pressure of Chris Gayle's potential return to the test side hanging over them and though Anderson has been rested Finn and Onions are more than adequate replacements.
I also like the look of Sunil Narine to make an impact on his test debut if given the chance. With Kemar Roach and new find Shannon Gabriel both injured Narine looks set to start and if he can carry his fantastic IPL form into this match then he looks more than fair odds for Man of the Match @ 20/1 (Ladbrokes).

Hope you got on the draw Andy 
I got average price of 3.84.
Traded out at odds on, unfortunately traded out yesterday at 1.9's but down to 1.5 now!
Looking like a complete wash out for most of this test but I wouldn't be adverse to taking it on at some point though i'd be more inclined to back England.
West Indies have never looked too happy on miserable on/off bowlers friendly English conditions, I expect them to really struggle with the bat and if they have to bat first I can see them getting out very cheaply WHEN they eventually manage to get out there. |

Unbelievable innings from Tino Best at Edgbaston. Really hope he hits the century...
...jinxed it! 95 and he's gone. Amazing stand though, changed the face of the match.
