West Indies lack for backing after 1st ODI defeat

There's not a lot of love left for West Indies after a rather flaccid defeat in the opening ODI against England at Old Trafford on Tuesday. In a two-horse race, England are an overwhelming 3/10 to win the second match at Trent Bridge, with West Indies a distant 5/2.

And the odds don't get much more optimistic for the series scoreline. England are 17/10 to wrap up a 5-0 clean sweep (although the weather in Nottingham may well be put paid to that prospect). And though it's not out of the question that West Indies can battle back, they are a far-fetched 80/1 to finish with a 4-1 win.

England's last ODI at Trent Bridge resulted in a world-record 444 for 3, and an England-best 171 for the home hero, Alex Hales. And at 3/1, alongside Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root, Hales is a decent bet to be England's top scorer once more.

Chris Gayle, at 11/4, is West Indies' likeliest source of runs, ahead of his opening partner, Evin Lewis (10/3) and Shai Hope (7/2), who at least has some previous in improbable comebacks, after his back-to-back hundreds in the second Test at Headingley last month.
