England on course for 3-0

It may have been cold, but the rain relented for long enough on Monday for England to win the second Test and take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series. And after the manner of their innings victory, bet365 make them 11/10 (2.10) to go on and win it 3-0

It may have been cold, but the rain relented for long enough on Monday for England to win the second Test and take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series. And after the manner of their innings victory, bet365 make them 11/10 (2.10) to go on and win it 3-0.
Ryan Sidebottom was the hero with the ball and England made the most of the little time they had to clinch the biggest victory ever over West Indies.
England are obviously in the ascendancy and West Indies have all sorts of troubles. Shivnarine Chanderpaul missed most of the second Test and Ramnaresh Sarwan will miss the rest of the series, which is a massive blow, both in leadership terms and in the loss of a world class batsman.
A 2-0 win for the home side is now a 6/4 chance, while a 1-0 win is just 9/1.
If you think West Indies can get back in the series, then a 1-1 scoreline is a 9/1 bet. A 2-1 England win is 16/1, while a 2-1 win for West Indies is 66/1.
