England have kept faith with the same squad that won the opening Ashes Test against Australia, as the two old rivals head to Lords to contest the second Test this week. Can England take a commanding series lead, or will the Australians be able to mount a comeback? After so much dramatic and thrilling action from Trent Bridge in the first match, it is hard to predict just what can follow all of that. Will it be a more professional and concentrated effort from both sides?

Online bookmaker Ladbrokes have a good cricket betting promotion running for the England v Australia Second Test. If Kevin Pietersen top scores in England’s 1st innings in the 2nd Test Match, between England and Australia, starting 18/07/2013, then online betting site Ladbrokes will refund losing stakes on the Match Betting up to £50, in the form of a free bet token.

England Top Runscorer 2nd Test 1st Innings odds at Ladbrokes 
Cook 7/2, Pietersen 7/2, Trott 7/2, Root 9/2, Bell 11/2, Bairstow 10/1, Prior 1/1

In the first Test Jonathan Trott top scored for England in their first innings with just 48, while Ian Bell’s vital 109 was top in the second. Bell will be pretty good value in this one, as he has notched up three half centuries in his last five innings at Lords. In England’s last match but one at Lords, Jonny Bairstow fired off 95 and 54 against South Africa and back in May on the ground, he top scored in the first innings against New Zealand.
