South Africa vs England - Fifth ODI betting

England will face South Africa tomorrow in Durban, knowing that they cannot lose the ODI series after taking a 2-1 lead with their 7 wicket victory last match. If South Africa win then the series will be a draw, but England will still take Solace from this, due to the fact that they went into the series as underdogs.

An amazing spell of bowling from paceman James Anderson helped England to dismiss the Proteas for a score of only 119, which England reached with 17 overs to spare. Anderson finished with figures of 5-23, while Jonathan Trott top scored for England with 52 not out.

South Africa are favourites for the match at 8/13, but will be wary of England, who have improved vastly since the 6-1 drubbing at the hands of the Australians in the summer. England are priced at 4/3.

Captain Andrew Strauss and Kevin Pietersen are joint favourites to top-score for England at 7/2, despite the fact that neither have scored a half century yet in the series. Alastair Cook is next at 5/1, followed by Paul Collingwood at 11/2. Collingwood scored a magnificent unbeaten century in the second match, and also top scored for England with 86 in the third, although he fell for only two last time out.

AB de Villiers and Graeme Smith are South Africa`s favourites to be their top batsman. De Villiers scored a fantastic 121 off only 85 balls in the third ODI to take the game away from England, but Smith, aside from one half century, has not excelled. Hashim Amla and JP Duminy are next at 4/1 and 5/1 respectively. Herschelle Gibbs is next, also at 5/1.

Anderson is favourite to be England`s top bowler at 15/8, followed by Stuart Broad at 3/1, Graeme Swann at 7/2, and Graham Onions at 5/1.

Dale Steyn is unsurprisingly favourite to be South Africa`s top bowler at 7/4, followed by Wayne Parnell at 3/1. Paul Harris is next at 4/1, ahead of Morne Morkel and Makhaya Ntini at 9/2 and 5/1 respectively.

After this match, England have two warm-up matches, before the test series begins on the 16th.
