A big century from England‘s Jonathan Trott, his second in as many Tests in England put England in a commanding position on 362-4 at Lord’s on the opening day of the two-match series against Bangladesh.
Trott- Another big 100 for England
First Test, Lord’s (day one, close): England 362-4 v Bangladesh
Trott looked in top form but Alastair Cook was out cheaply in only the fifth over of the match. Trott finished the day on an unbeaten 175 from 270 balls faced. He is now at the crease with Eoin Morgan.
Stan James bet 7/4 that Eoin Morgan marks his test debut with a ton tomorrow (2/5 not to) against Bangladesh. The Middlesex left-hander is 40 not out overnight.
Jonathan Trott is 175 not out and is 2/5 to score 200 or more and 7/4 not to and is 4/1 to score 300 or more and 1/7 not to:
Eoin Morgan to score 100 or more against Bangladesh in the 1st innings:
Yes 7/4
No 2/5
Jonathan Trott to score 200 or more:
Yes 2/5
No 7/4
To score 300 or more:
Yes 4/1
No 1/7
Racing Diary’s View….
The opposition is weak and this is a huge chance for Jonathan Trott to knock a double ton and for the exciting Eion Morgan to score a maiden test century at Lords. The fielding is poor and the pressure is off, relatively speaking. Trott is as exciting a batsman as England has had for many years,
