South Africa still favourites after day one

New Zealand had the better of day one in the first Test against South Africa in Johannesburg but a couple of wickets late on brought the home side back into it and they are still favourites to win the match at 4/5 (1.80).

New Zealand's bowlers surprised everyone with their disciplined performance and bet365 have cut them to 5/4 (2.25), while the draw has been lengthened to 17/2.

The pitch is fast and there is no doubt that batting will not be easy unless it evens out over the rest of the match. Bet365 go 5/6 (1.83) that New Zealand will get 265 or better, while it's the same price that they fall short.

It doesn't take a genius to see that Stephen Fleming will be key to New Zealand's reply. Bet365 make it 5/6 that he goes on from his overnight score of 22 to get 55 or more, while Shane Bond, who has yet to score, is 5/6 to get 11 or more. Fleming is 10/3 to score a hundred, and 4/6 to get a fifty.
