Bookies fancy England for series victory

England are odds-on favourites to avenge their winter Test series defeat to the West Indies when their second match gets underway on Thursday (May 13th).Having lost the Caribbean series 1-0, England secured an emphatic ten-wicket victory in the first of two Tests on home soil.And they are priced 1/9 by Totesport to take the series, with a draw - the best the tourists can hope for - given odds of 13/2 by Paddy Power.England have named Ian Bell and Ryan Sidebottom in a 13-man squad, with Monty Panesar the man to miss out.Graham Onions - who took seven wickets on his first outing for his country last week - retains his place, as does fellow debutant Tim Bresnan. Ladbrokes is offering odds of 5/2 that Onions will once again be England's top bowler, making him joint favourite alongside James Anderson - who picked two wickets last time out.
