India hold all the aces

It's hard to think of a match that one side has dominated more than the second Test betwen India and Sri Lanka as the home side took a 1-0 lead with one match to go in the three-Test series. And with only a draw needed to seal the series, it's no surprise to see bet365 make the draw the favourite for the final Test, which begins on Wednesday.

Quite simply, Sri Lanka bucked under the pressure after India's massive first-innings effort and collapsed to a huge innings defeat.

Sri Lanka have to come out fighting but such is the form of India's batsmen that it's almost impossible to imagine that they will be bowled out twice, especially with so much prssure on the match.

Bet365 go 23/20 on the draw, with India 7/5 and Sri Lanka available at 4/1. Because India don't need to win they will surely just try to bat once and put the win beyond Sri Lanka, not really worrying if they get the win themselves.

Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar are both 10/3 favourites to top-score for India in the first innings, but Rahul Dravid could steal the show after two fabulous efforts in the first two Tests. Out of nowhere, the Wall is in great form and looks like the man he was five years ago. Bet365 make him 4/1 and that's not a bad price. Murali Vijay is 5/1, VVS Laxman is 6/1 and Yivraj Singh 7/1.

For Sri Lanka, Mahela Jayawardene is 11/4 favourite, ahead of Kumar Sangakkara at 3/1 and Tillekeratne Dilshan 4/1. Thilan Samawareera is 5/1.

I just think it's asking too much of Sri Lanka for them to win the match an the draw looks the obvious choice.
