England vs India - 2nd Test Match

At 11am Friday morning, England take on India at Trent Bridge, for the 2nd test match in the series. England lead the series 1-0 after a convincing 196 run victory at Lords. England would hope to name an unchanged team for the 2nd test but pace bowler Chris Tremlett is a doubt through injury. For India, left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan has been ruled out due to injury after limping off on the 1st day at Lords. England have been made favourites for the test at 2.08, with India at 4.8, and the draw at 3.1. If England can get Tremlett fit for the test then in our opinion they have a great chance of winning the test having bowled India out for less than 300 in both innings at Lords. India's pace attack also looked weak after losing Zaheer Khan and the news that he is out of the second test only confirms England's status as favourites.

Also... Sergio Aguero looks set to complete a £35million switch from Athletico Madrid to Manchester City after agreeing a 5 year deal. A clever, agile, dangerous striker who can create a chance out of nothing, it will be a joy to watch Aguero in the Premier League, as long as he can cope with the physicality. An intresting bet... he is at 16/1 to be top scorer this season!
