After collapsing to a 381-run defeat in the first Test and now without influential Jonathan Trott, England will be hoping for a much improved display in the second Test in Adelaide, which begins at midnight tonight (Wednesday).

Our traders don’t give Cook’s side much hope over the five Tests, as we’re currently joint-industry best price on England to win the series at 7/2 and joint-industry best price on a series draw at 9/2.
