England Favourites For S. Africa Series Win After Draw

England are odds-on favourites to win their Test series in South Africa following yesterday's thrilling draw in Cape Town.

Victory for the visitors looked out of reach as they headed into the final day of the match and many were anticipating the home side to triumph.

But long innings from Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell helped England to survive and eventually clinch a draw with just one wicket left.

The result maintained the touring side's 1-0 lead over South Africa as they head into the final Test in Johannesburg and Totesport(Go to Totesport ») makes them 2/5 to avoid defeat and win the series outright.

Odds of 6/4 are available at William Hill(Go to William Hill ») on the hosts levelling to secure a tie and captain Graham Smith suggested he is hoping his team can pull it off after giving their all over the last week.

"Hopefully at the Wanderers we can go all the way," he commented.
