Hoggard now odds-on

Hoggard has 10 wickets and heads the list ahead of captain Andrew Flintoff, who has seven wickets and is 2/1 (3.00) to finish first in the market.

Behind those two, there is value everywhere but you would be taking a big leap of faith if you go for anyone else.

That said, Steve Harmison, who has one wicket, and Monty Panesar, who has yet to play, are both 16/1 (17.00) with Ashley Giles, with three wickets, and James Anderson, with two, are both rank outsiders at 25/1 (26.00).
